Join us to celebrate the launch of GHOST DRIVER, the debut novel by Nell Osborne.
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.
Hosted by Moist Books, Nell will be joined by Benjamin Pester who will read from ‘The Expansion Project’ (Granta, 2025) and Prudence Bussey-Chamberlain who will read from ‘Bone Horn’ (Cipher Press, 2025).
