“Story of the Ghost” is a captivating tale about Gavin, a football hero known as “The Ghost.” The story does an amazing job developing and depicting the characters, as well as using symbolism to advance the story to its climax and beyond. This story, loosely defined as a sports drama, reads like nothing else I’ve ever come across. The enthralling parallel between Gavin’s story and the subplots within the book move the reader to look deeper into the symbolism and layers of the tale, making this novel transcend the boundaries of mere fiction and become what can only be called literature.This may be Charles Mahoney’s debut novel, but I hope it will not be his last. His writing is on par with Dickens and Hemingway, making Mahoney a promising author with a potentially fantastic career ahead of him.
