The Ghosts of Intimacy

Genre: Literary Fiction / Experimental Novella


Every woman he ever loved is waiting for him at his mother’s door.

Leroy has spent his whole life running. Away from his hometown, away from the people he hurt, away from the thing he couldn’t name that turned him into a man who moved through women like they were countries โ€” visited, never settled in.

Now he’s coming back. And everywhere he walks, the ghosts find him โ€” not the horror-movie kind, but the real ones. Andrea. Serena. Viv. Shannon. Nadine. Louis, who didn’t make it. They don’t want revenge. They want something harder: they want him to see.

The Ghosts of Intimacy is an experimental novella โ€” dream logic, fractured time, a form inspired by the Japanese prose poetry of Sei Ito โ€” that follows one man’s reckoning with a lifetime of desire without accountability.

Book 1 of the Tama no Michi Trilogy. Written in Otaru, Japan. Published by Indignified Press.
