Description

Ghost Stories is a graphic novel collection offering three haunting explorations. Granted the chance to meet three of her dead idols in "Ghost," the author’s cartoon-self embarks on a journey to remote and unanticipated landscapes, in a story of self-discovery and healing. In "Wallpaper," a child tells the story of a household move, remodel, and loss through the lens of flashbulb memory. And in "Makers," two girls with an unorthodox friendship make a rocky transition into adulthood. Throughout each tale, ghosts exist as past selves and remnants of past relationships that are met with inquiry, resolution, and personal rebirth.

Advance Praise

"This may not be a book about actual ghosts, but that doesn't mean it won't keep you up at night."


—MariNaomi, author/illustrator of Turning Japanese



“Ghost Stories is nostalgically blue, yet undefeated.”


—Christa Cassano, co-illustrator of Ghetto Klown



“Sweet and sad, Ghost Stories feels for anyone missing friendships that helped make the world seem beautiful.”


—Ben Passmore, author/illustrator of Your Black Friend



"Smart, poetic and deeply personal, Whit Taylor’s stories of love and loss sneak up and take hold of you."


—Sophie Goldstein, author/illustrator of The Oven and House of Women



"I love Whit's work. Every time I read something by her I think, I trust this person. I trust this art. It is wise, and fascinated, and benevolent, and practical. It's not trying to convince me of anything and yet I want to follow it around everywhere and just listen. Ghost Stories collects some of her best. This is a book full of sweet and sorrowful longing, both an easy pleasure and a powerful emotional force."


—Carolyn Nowak, author/illustrator of Diana's Electric Tongue 

"This may not be a book about actual ghosts, but that doesn't mean it won't keep you up at night."

Loved this title. It was real while still being a viable fantasy.
