'It should be placed alongside modern love stories such as Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow' - Crack
'This new novel is a real heart-squeezer. Beautiful, one of a kind and perfectly titled' - Matt Berninger of The National

'Genuinely powerful' - The Irish Times

A gorgeous modern love story about the lives that change us, and the loves that haunt us. Set over twenty years, August Thompson's debut Anyone's Ghost will break your heart.

It took three car crashes to kill Jake.

The lonely life of fifteen-year-old Theron David Alden is transformed when he meets Jake. Older, cooler, more confident and startlingly beautiful, Jake likes the same bands, the same drugs, and has the same drive to oblivion.

Over the course of two decades, Theron and Jake get high, drift apart, and are brought hurtling back together, until a final collision tears them apart forever.

Theron wants Jake, and he wants to be Jake. But is Jake brave enough to want him back?

'You know those books that you take with you everywhere? That you won't stop talking about to your friends? That bring it all back? That change you? Anyone's Ghost is that book' - Junot Diaz, author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

'A beautiful exploration of the all-encompassing nature of friendship, specifically male friendship, and the devastating speed at which grief can derail your life' - Service95

'An overwhelmingly beautiful love story. This book will make you cry' - Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated

Theron David Alden was there for the first two: the summer they meet in rural New Hampshire, when he's fifteen and Jake's seventeen; then seven years later in New York City, those too-short, nearly sleepless days and nights that change both their lives and end up being all they'll ever have together, the dream and the end of the dream and...
