Johanna Taylor Auctions The Ghostkeeper Graphic Novel To Penguin

The Ghostkeeper is Johanna Taylor's debut graphic novel, which tackles issues of mental health, toxic positivity, and grief, while following the exploits of a young paranormal therapist with the ability to see the dead, whose job gets much trickier when the key to Death's Door goes missing and all ghosts end up stranded in the land of the living. Taylor sold The Ghostkeeper at auction, bought by Chris Hernandez at Razorbill. The Ghostkeeper is planned for publication in the autumn of 2023.
