Ghost Lover
The electrifying short story collection from the author of THREE WOMEN Lisa Taddeo
Behind anonymous screens, an army of cool and beautiful girls manage the dating service Ghost Lover, a forwarding system for text messages that promises to spare you the anguish of trying to stay composed while communicating with your crush. At a star-studded political fundraiser in a Los Angeles mansion, a trio of women compete to win the heart of the slick guest of honor. In a tense hospital waiting room, an inseparable pair of hardpartying friends crash into life’s responsibilities, but the magic of their glory days comes alive again at the moment they least expect it.
In these nine riveting stories, two of which have been awarded the Pushcart Prize, Lisa Taddeo brings to life the fever of obsession, the blindness of love, and the mania of grief. Featuring Taddeo’s arresting prose that continues to thrill her legions of fans, Ghost Lover dares you to look away.
Lisa Taddeo is the author of bestsellers Three Women and Animal. She has contributed to New York, Esquire, Elle, Glamour and many other publications. Her non-fiction has been included in the Best American Sports Writing and Best American Political Writing anthologies, and her short stories have won two Pushcart Prizes. Lisa lives with her husband and daughter in New England.

A readinonegulp commercial thriller about coming of age under a cult’s indoctrination – and what it takes to break free
Someone has broken into Zoe’s flat. A man she thought she’d never have to see again. They call him the Hand of God.
He knows about her job in the café, her Dublin flat, her exgirlfriend, even the knife she’s hidden under the mattress. She thought she’d left him far behind, along with the cult of the Children and their isolated compound Home – but now he’s found her, and she knows she must go back to rescue the sister who helped her all those years before.
But returning to Home means going back to the enforced worship and gender roles Zoe has long since moved beyond. Back to the abuse and indoctrination she’s fought hard to overcome.
Going back will make her question everything she believed about her past – and risk her hard-won freedom. Can she break free a second time?
