Ghostshow Live!

Is Tessie Gold chasing ghosts... or running from them?



When Tessie Gold's former reality show co-host contacts her with an idea for one last (live!) reunion episode featuring a unique "haunted" house, she's hesitant to agree. Her bad-tempered mother is dying, and Tessie is struggling to move beyond her Ghostshow past to become an archaeologist. The stain of being a reality TV ghost hunter has finally started to fade. But the residuals are running out, and Tessie needs the money to care for her mother and secure her own future.



As Tessie gets closer to the house, it seems to be taunting her. A vision on a plane ride. A seemingly possessed waitress. A companion back from the dead. But Tessie doesn't believe in ghosts...



Spooky yet emotional, Ghostshow Live! explores the effect of past trauma on the present, the struggle between looking back and looking forward, and the many meanings of belief. A Head Full of Ghosts meets The Haunting of Hill House in this debut horror novella by Christopher Degni.
