Ghost House
Emily Butler’s Ghost House is a collection that no one should do without. Once I started I could not stop. You will not be disappointed.
-Brian J. Smith, author of Consuming Darkness and Abbie’s Wrath
In Ghost House , Butler shares personal truths that pull you in and draw your attention to everything around you. “You” literally, in many cases, such as in pieces that prompt you to choose how to experience a sunset, dissect #relationshipgoals, and find meaning in the small things you’d overlook otherwise. These pieces make you appreciate science, the squirrels and canaries, and nature around us. In sparse, poignant prose, Butler invites readers to look closely at where they are now and assess what they’ve left behind, asking, “Haven’t you noticed? That you’ve been here before?”

"Ghost House” is an intense collection of thought provoking, introspective poems both haunting and heartbreaking. Explorative and deeply personal, Butler writes with honesty and courage, touching on the after-effects of experience, the memories that linger, and how to fit into the world beyond trauma. At times sparse and direct, yet often beautiful and cinematic, these poems will stay with you long after reading, and cause you to re-examine your own life and what you thought you knew."
