I was looking for a quick read to clear my mind of epic fantasy tomes with dozens of characters and world ending stakes. Something simple and introspective with one or two characters. The Ghost Beside Me fit the bill.
Beware reader, this is not a story about vengeful ghosts in the attic, haunting the sanity out of the living but a fleeting tale of self-discovery, loneliness and longing for connection that many introverts will relate to.
E. Neville reminds me of a romanticised version of Bernardo Soares, and there's something almost Lovecraftian about the writing itself, which could have been greatly improved with another editing pass or two.
Overall, the ghost beside me is worth the read, whether or not you believe in ghosts.
