Full Synopsis
Ghost stories for the digital age by the Booker Prize–longlisted author of The Wall.

A mysterious tall man haunts a country house in search of a cell signal; a translator at an academic conference starts hearing things over his headset that nobody should hear; a family discovers their dependence on the latest technological gadget goes to the very foundations of human relations; and the merry contestants in a reality TV show may actually be . . . somewhere very hellish indeed. Reality and Other Stories is a book of disquiet that captures the severe disconnection and distraction of our time.

"An entrancing follow-up to 2019's The Wall, with narrations that add a layer of ominous suspense." ---Booklist
