Short-listed, Costa Biography Award, 2020

Jeff Young takes us on a journey through haunted places of memory and loss, summoning the ghosts of loved ones and long-departed heroes who somehow still occupy the disappearing nooks and ruins of the city. Walking through the last remnants of the places he remembers from his childhood, walking through grief, we are accompanied by a Liverpool of revenants, where Malcolm Lowry drinks in derelict saloons, Thomas De Quincey still roams the Everton hills, Bob Dylan sits in a doorway on Dublin Street and where visionary architects, poets, punks and dreamers act out a bittersweet shadow play of longing and loss.

Ghost Town is a deeply personal audiobook of remembering and forgetting, yet when we cross its threshold we also discover the labyrinth of a master storyteller, whose unforgettable characters gather in our thoughts like moths around lamplight.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

I loved the atmosphere evoked by Ghost Town. There's a grainy black and white, super 8 cam feel to the stories of family, childhood and the places we remember slowly disappearing into the shadows. It's beautifully written. I think it would appeal to anyone interested in being transported to the '60s / '70s underbelly of a working class northern town.

I was very disappointed felt book lacked emotional depth. A little pretentious at times

Too many places and not enough people
