IT TOOK THREE CAR CRASHES TO KILL JAKE
The first crash. New Hampshire. Teenagers Theron and Jake meet in the heat of the summer. Jake is everything Theron wants to be – hot, cool, interesting. Drunk in Jake’s van on their last night together, they hurtle off a dirt road at 2am.
The second crash. New York City. Jake and Theron have drifted apart, but when they are reunited in the midst of a hurricane, they are both forever changed.
The third crash. Texas. Driving on a lonely highway, Jake finds the oblivion he has always been chasing in one final collision, and Theron is left to grapple with the ghosts of their past.
'A beautiful exploration of the all-encompassing nature of friendship, specifically male friendship, and the devastating speed at which grief can derail your life' - Service95
'It should be placed alongside modern love stories such as Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow'– Crack
'This book will make you cry' – Jonathan Safran Foer, author of Everything is Illuminated
August Thompson was born and raised in the middle of nowhere, New Hampshire. He studied in New
York and Berlin, wasted all of his good hearing at metal shows, taught English in Spain for two years,
and spent another two on couches across three continents. He returned to New York as a Goldwater
Fellow at NYU’s Creative Writing Program. At the age of twenty-six, he came out as bisexual. Anyone's
Ghost is his first novel.
