Ghost Driver

Malory walks home after an ordinarily gruelling night out, having escaped the company of her associates. Something ripples in the darkness. The shape of a figure. So begins a chain of events with the texture of dream plasma. A story of persecution mania. Professional ignominy. A sudden disappearance. The terror of seeing oneself too clearly... Part horror story, part tragicomic nightmare, Ghost Driver is a slim shudder of a novel about a woman who has taken every wrong turn available to her. Nell Osborne is an academic researcher and writer. She is the author of the poetry pamphlets Thank You For Everything (Monitor Books, 2024) and The Canine Redeemer has Entered the Bungalow Just Not, 2018), and co-editor of Gestures: a body of work (Manchester University Press, 2025) a cross-disciplinary anthology o n gesture and feminist practice. From 2018-2020, she co-ran the experimental DIY feminist reading and commission series, No Matter, which commissioned new work from writers including Anne Boyer, Simone White, and Lisa Robertson. Ghost Driver is her first novel.
