Text Messages From a Ghost is just what you might think -- a series of text messages between a guy and the ghost in his phone. A friendship develops that is humorous, melancholy, and, in the
sequel, bittersweet enough to make this girl cry. Mallory Ortberg leaves just enough unsaid, and the medium is perfect for the unraveling tale of a man and his ghost. And Julia. And that cat! And -- Look, just go read them yourself. It's short and perfect. And seriously, I cried at the end.
Ortberg also writes text message conversations between a variety of others, including du Maurier's
Rebecca that is spectacularly psychotic.

Art of Darkness, a never-ending trip into the fascinating, and superlatively creative, darker side of our world.
