Description

From Bram Stoker Award-winning author Kathe Koja comes a fiercely poetic homage to Emily Brontë’s supernatural masterpiece Wuthering Heights, where love is relentless and the dead are never gone. 

Cathy Earnshaw. Catherine Linton. Mother. Daughter. They never saw each other alive. In Catherine the Ghost these two young women confront loss, captivity, and the dark edge of eternity itself, to claim their full existence and share their power. With hauntings that escape the page and passion that bleeds them red, Koja crafts a tale that transcends the material plane as an eerie comfort that ghosts keep loving long past the grave.

This modern gothic punk remix of Emily Bronte’s classic Wuthering Heights is a ghost story told from the POV of Catherine Earnshaw’s restless spirit from beyond the grave. With artful interior illustrations and classy French flaps, this short novel is a collector’s edition that is sure to delight fans of ghost stories, feminist retellings of classics and the cult fan base of Kathe Koja, who has built a legacy with her intense speculative and horror fiction ever since her award-winning debut, The Cipher.

Advance Praise

"This brilliant retelling from Koja whisks readers to the wild English moors...Fans of the original will be thoroughly impressed." Publishers Weekly, starred review

"It takes a writer of immense talent, passion and courage to reimagine one of gothic literature's greatest characters. With Catherine the Ghost, Kathe Koja demonstrates all three, in an eerie and elegant homage to the heroine of Wuthering Heights. A truly splendid tale of obsession that outlives the grave.” —Elizabeth Hand, author of A Haunting on the Hill and Generation Loss

“A haunting meditation on broken promises and the dark underbelly of love." —Rae Wilde, author of Merciless Waters

"Kathe Koja divinely taps into the hereafter with Catherine the Ghost, summoning Wuthering Heights and beckoning Brontë to speak from beyond the veil. What they manifest together is a haunting meditation on love and literature, both for and from, two exquisite texts communing with one another across the centuries." —Clay McLeod Chapman, author of What Kind of Mother and Ghost Eaters 

"A strange and beautiful ode to gothic literature, Catherine the Ghost takes the story of Wuthering Heights and turns it on its head in the most dark and devastating way. An absolute must-read." —Gwendolyn Kiste, author of Reluctant Immortals

"Dramatic and remarkably alluring with such a rich sense of poeticism, Catherine the Ghost is a literary seance that invokes the restless spirit of Brontë while showcasing the verve and magnificence of one of our finest visionaries: Kathe Koja.” —Eric LaRocca, author of Things Have Gotten Worse Since We Last Spoke

“Kathe Koja’s Catherine the Ghost pays beautiful homage to the classic text, Koja’s style conforming to Bronte’s so seamlessly a true love is revealed, or perhaps a rivalry. This feels like Koja’s heart, vulnerable and exposed.” —Charlene Elsby, author of Violent Faculties and The Devil Thinks I’m Pretty
