“Who you are is who you’ve been, for better or for worse. There’s old ghosts everywhere, but, now, as far as I’m concerned, there’s only one Old Ghosts, and it’s Nik Korpon’s.” -Stephen Graham Jones“Nik Korpon brings us back to a Baltimore we haven’t seen since The Wire and answers the question of what might’ve been if The Grifters’ Roy Dillon had tried to settle down, go straight and have a kid. A story of brothers and sisters or lovers, Old Ghosts reads like a horror story down one man’s memory lane. Not to be missed!” -Seth Harwood“Nik Korpon’s Old Ghosts is about old friends and older dreams getting in the way of your present, and then totally kicking the shit out of your future. Plus rebar. If there’s such a thing as neo-noir, this is it. Moody, smart, sexy, and tension-filled, Old Ghosts is a whip crack of a crime novella.” – Paul Tremblay

More About Old Ghosts
The ghosts are largely metaphorical.If you liked Korpon's novel Stay God, this quickie is set in its same universe, with that similar gut-punched, copper-tasting voice alive with vivid, bodily descriptions as a young man tries to escape the sordid characters of his past and build a family life. But the past ain't through with him. Lean poetic prose personified by vivid and visceral characterisation. The protagonist's underlying desire to protect his new family fuels a rage not tapped since his underworld dealings with his forgotten family. Cole's old ghosts become very real when Chance Miller and Delilah return from out of the blue seeking to acquire his services... Part a re-execution of Poe's Cask of Amontillado, part Guy Ritchie movie, all Korpon.
