Cover of a book, a humaniod monster with no eyes or nose looms out of a mirror, its dark hair drifting upwards and escaping the frame, as a teenage girl with dark hair and pale skin watches, terrified. The text reads, A GOOD DAUGHTER'S GHOST by Sam Wilket.

A GOOD DAUGHTER’S GHOST

LAUNCHING October 6, 2026

A babysitter faces the horror of longing for a life that might destroy her.

Rachel Bei refuses to believe in ghosts like her medium mom. But when a seemingly perfect babysitting gig turns creepy, then gruesome, she’s forced to reconsider.

Drawing on Chinese folklore, this darkly immersive novel confronts family secrets, the audacity of whiteness, and the ghosts we carry with us.
