Phantom Hearts Launch Party With Rosie Talbot and Sarah Maxwell

Gosh! is proud to welcome Rosie Talbot and Sarah Maxwell to the shop for the launch party of their new graphic novel Phantom Hearts on Wednesday 30th October 2024 between 7-9pm. Here’s what the publishers Scholastic have to say about the book.

"Be gay, befriend ghosts, fight crime—Rosie Talbot and Sarah Maxwell’s Phantom Hearts is an engaging, emotional adventure with a twisty mystery at its core. A must-read for fans of queer paranormal fiction.” – Jules Arbeaux, author of Lord of the Empty Isles

From the bestselling author of SIXTEEN SOULS and TWELVE BONES comes a sapphic graphic novel with a supernatural twist. This is A GOOD GIRLS GUIDE TO MURDER meets HEARTSTOPPER. With incredible artwork by Sarah Maxwell.

Sixteen-year-old Malia is popular, pretty and smart, but underneath her carefully crafted façade she’s struggling with anxiety. When a school bus crashes killing some of her fellow students, Malia is thrown into a further emotional spiral as she remembers the students; rebel and dropout Shepherd; volatile track star Russ; and brainy Emil. When Malia meets Keezy, the cute daughter of the local mechanic, the two begin to question the motive for the crash. As Malia and Keezy start to uncover secrets, Malia starts to see ghosts wherever she goes. How will Malia find time to flirt with Keezy when pursued by restless spirits … what don’t the dead classmates want her to discover? And will Malia ever find the courage to tell Keezy how she feels?"

Rosie and Sarah will be here celebrating its release on Wednesday 30th October, from 7pm. Come along to meet them and get your copy signed! You can also pre-order a signed copy from our website for mail-order or collection by clicking the link here.
