Ghost Radio (2008)
Ghost Radio (2008)
Published in 2008 by Harper Collins, Ghost Radio is Leopoldo Gout's first novel. Each chapter begins with an engraving which Gout did himself. The book is a paranormal suspense thriller. Fellow author and collaborator James Patterson describes it as reminiscent of the early work of Stephen King. Originally intended to be a graphic novel, Gout says of his work “the words started to overwhelm the images” at which point he switched away from the graphic format, opting instead to do a traditional novel which includes some illustrations. Each chapter begins with an engraving which Gout did himself. Kirkus Review writes, "Palpable, almost visible cross-cultural creepiness that never lets up: [Ghost Radio is] very smart thrills."
