Ghost Writer by Arjay Lewis

A foreboding tale of erotic horror and the torturous act of creation, Ghost Writer by Arjay Lewis is a smoldering story of isolation, dark secrets, and things that bump together in the night. A floundering, recently divorced writer, Joseph Riley inherits a decrepit cabin in the Poconos, where he quickly discovers that writer’s block, booze, and childhood memories aren’t the only things lurking in the shadows. A seductive specter is polishing his pages while he sleeps, but digging into the mystery of her disappearance reveals a grim truth about his family that hits far too close to his haunted home. Unsettling, twisted, and layered with complexity, Lewis plunges readers into a mix of supernatural terror with the terror of creation, which evocatively explores how past trauma and present discomfit are deeply entwined with creative pursuits, resulting in a novel that transcends the ghost story genre by probing the ghost story genre itself.
