Purchase a copy of the book (RRP £16.99) from Night Owl Books and receive free entrance to the book club - while spaces last!
If you would like to pick up your copy from Night Owl, please select 'local collection' at the checkout, or alternatively select a shipping option to have the book posted to you.
About Aftertaste:
A food story to binge. A ghost story to devour. A love story to savour.
When dead-end dishwasher Kostya discovers the ability to summon spirits through the food he cooks, he embarks on a journey to open a New York City restaurant that serves closure – something he’s craved for as long as he can remember. There are just three problems:
1. Kostya has some ghosts of his own.
2. His advancing menu of spirit cuisine is threatening the stability of the Afterlife itself.
3. He’s falling in love with Maura, a party psychic with her own secret connection to the Afterlife – who also happens to be the one person who knows he must be stopped.
A bittersweet cocktail of humour and heart, Aftertaste is an imaginative odyssey through food and love, life and death: the things that sustain us, connect us, transport us, and remind us who we are.
Hardback, 400 pages, published May 2025.
