My Thoughts:

This is my 3rd book by Ronald Malfi. I also read his two novels: Come With Me and Black Mouth. Ghostwritten is a set of four novellas that have something to do with books that are, in one way or another, creepy and deadly. I liked that some details appear in multiple stories. This audiobook started ok, and each next novella was better. The last novella, even though different, was for me far better than the rest.

The Skin of her Teeth 3★
A book that doesn't want to be changed is haunting a screenwriter and his agent.

The Dark Brothers’ Last Ride 4★
Two brothers have a job to deliver a package (book) to some place. They must follow a route exactly, even though they will need more time this way. Strange things await them along the path.

This Book Belongs to Olo 3.5★
Olo is ten years old. He is smart for his age but also very weird. Because of that, he doesn't have any friends. His mother is a bestselling writer, and his stepfather is a writer too. Even young Olo made a very special book. A very good concept, but this novella had some unnecessary parts, and it dragged a bit because of that.

The Story 5★
This novella is my absolute favorite in this set. It is a little different from the rest because there is no physical copy of the book. For me, it is the most chilling novella. Dark web and choose your own adventure.

Joe Hempel did it again. For me, perfect narration of Ronald Malfi’s books.
