Ghosted An entirely unhinged and spooky story about getting ghosted and getting revenge by Talia Tucker

Release date: November 10, 2026

What if you got ghosted and had the chance to do the funniest thing by haunting him right back? What if it consumed your every waking thought like a girl possessed, fighting for brain space with your sleep paralysis demon and your first serious girl crush?

What then???

Keziah is very familiar with ghosts - after all, a sleep paralysis demon has been her closest companion for the last few years, and she's constantly getting ghosted. Which isn't really helping her get a date for the Homecoming dance. And then she meets a guy who just transferred to the all-boys school nearby. He's charming, cute, and - unlike with her other dates - she actually sees potential with him.

Too bad he ghosts her, too.

This time, though, she isn't going to take it so easily. Not when Guy and his friends mess with her real true love, Mr. Kim's food truck, and especially not when she finds out the real reason Guy transferred in the first place. If he wants to ghost, she'll haunt him right back to where he came from.

Enacting revenge while her sleep paralysis demon keeps bugging her certainly won't be easy but, with help from a cute girl, let the real (and well-deserved) ghosting begin!
