Our lives are digital, exposed and always-on. We track our friends and family wherever they go. We have millennia of knowledge at our fingertips.
We know everything about our world. But we know nothing about theirs.
We have changed, but our ghosts have not. They've simply adapted and innovated, found new channels to reach us. They inhabit our apps and wander the metaverse just as they haunt our homes and our memories, always seeking new ways to connect.
To live amongst us.
To remind us.
To tempt us.
To take their revenge.
These stories are not ours to tell. They are the stories of the dead - of those we've lost, loved, forgotten... and feared. Some are fiction. But some may not be.

Jeanette Winterson's cover version of The Winter's Tale vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare's original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found. 'Emotionally wrought and profoundly intelligent... A supremely clever, compelling and emotionally affecting novel that deserves multiple readings to appreciate its many layers'Mail on Sunday 'There are passages here so concisely beautiful they give you goosebumps'Observer'Pulsates with such authenticity and imaginative generosity that I defy you not to engage with it'Independent
'Winterson is a rangy pirate, a world-swashbuckler, a plunderer of stories, literatures and hearts' Ali Smith, Scotsman
'It's night. I'm sitting at my screen. There's an e-mail for me. I unwrap it. It says - Freedom, just for one night.'
Ali, or Alix, is an e-writer. They will write anything you like, but on one condition: that you are prepared to enter your story. Finally, you can be the hero of your own life.
But, there is a price to pay - the risk that you might leave the story as somebody else.
'Brilliant, evocative writing... Winterson never seems to put a foot wrong... It is funny, clever, entertaining and wholly delightful' Spectator

Hymn na cześć piękna świata. Polemiczna książka Winterson, na zawsze zmieni nasze opowieści o planecie ziemi. ""Kamienni bogowie"" to awanturnicza wyprawa w czasie i przestrzeni, która wiedzie z XVIII-wiecznej Wyspy Wielkanocnej ku odległej przyszłości i wraca do zamierzchłej przeszłości. Jest to również nadzwyczaj piękny tryptyk miłosny, z udziałem kolejnych wcieleń Billie i Spike, których prywatna historia splata się z dziejami ludzkości. Winterson tą żarliwą, polemiczną i często bardzo zabawną powieścią wprowadza nowe jakości do wszystkiego, co dotychczas napisała. Jej najnowsze dzieło to prawdziwy hymn wychwalający urodę świata
