‘Shapton has created a mystical territory – a performance, an exhibition, a guestbook – in which I felt the ghost within myself; the thing that will outlive me. A fearless and exquisite book’ Miranda JulyGuestbook explores the glimmering, unsettling things that haunt us in the midst of life, combining stories, vignettes and an evocative curiosity cabinet of artifacts and images – found photographs, original paintings, Instagram-style portraits – to transform the traditional ghost story into something else entirely.’Leanne Shapton has a way of making books entirely new, surreal, and uncanny … Guestbook contains ghost stories for a world of images and captions, in which the ghosts are all of us, and our strange time’ Sheila Heti, author of How Should a Person Be?

| Review Quote | 'Ghost' is a good word for all the nameless longing that doesn't get resolved in this lifetime. Shapton has created a mystical territory – a performance, an exhibition, a guestbook – in which I felt the ghost within myself; the thing that will outlive me. A fearless and exquisite book. |
| Other text | Leanne Shapton has a way of making books entirely new, surreal, and uncanny, always experimenting with the ways image and text can be mixed to tell new stories, in new ways. Guestbook is a delicious haunting and leaves one with a chill of recognition for how we live as ghosts in this distant, distracted, and image-obsessed time. |
