Beschreibung des Verlags
The chilling first novel by filmmaker, composer, and graphic novelist Leopoldo Gout, performed by actor Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us; Narcos; Game of Thrones)
“Ghost Radio reminded me of early Stephen King. The story sticks with you long after you’ve finished the final page.” —James Patterson
From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next.
Joaquin, the hip, melancholy host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding calls from believers and detractors alike. He is joined in the booth by his darkly beautiful girlfriend, Alondra, and his engineer, Watts. Soon what began as an underground cult sensation is primed to break out to mainstream audiences. When a huge radio conglomerate offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans, neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared for what is about to happen.
When Joaquin notices a curious and troubling phenomenon, he is inexplicably drawn further and further into the terrifying stories he solicits on the radio. As he slowly loses control over his reality and finds himself unable to distinguish between the real world and the world populated by the nightmares on Ghost Radio, he’s forced to confront his past and his own mortality in order to repair the crumbling wall between the living and the dead.

On the morning of May 6th 2021
I was on my way to work, listening to music when I decided to switch to Audible. I asked Siri to play Ghost Radio. She misunderstood and initiated something that sounded similar to the book title. “Noo, ugh,” I said and stopped it with the remote. I wanted to give it another try.
I pushed the button, to reach Siri, only to be deafened by a sudden, very painful series of beeps that almost sounded like Morse code... It hurt so bad in my head I had to stop hard and jumped off of my bike. The remote didn’t work. The sound became unbearable. I pulled the phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen. There was something on queue to play and its title was “Ghost Radio”.
For a split second I thought the beep was part of the music or whatever it was.
It wasn’t even playing...
A pop up window appeared and said something about an error - I didn’t dare reading it. Whatever it was it even denied me access to my own phone. I had no other choice but switch it off, hoping against hope it’s not a hacker or virus... I turned it on again. The message was gone. I looked around me. No one had noticed what just happened. Then a thought struck me: Joaquin would have liked this story. It would have been worth telling on “Ghost Radio”...
I’ve listened to this book for a hundred times and still have new theories! 🙌🏼
