Hello, I’m Gabriel. My debut novel, Poor Ghost! is out now with Sceptre Books. It won a Betty Trask Award, was reviewed in Literary Review, The New Statesman, Review 31, and the TLS, appeared in Esquire’s 2025 summer reading list, and was the subject of an interview feature in the May, 2025 edition of The Berliner.

You can buy Poor Ghost! online from Waterstones, Foyles, and Blackwells in the UK (Blackwells also ship globally), and from Dussmann in Germany, as well as at many independent bookshops. An audiobook version narrated by Maxim Reston is available from Audible.

My writing has appeared in Five Dials, Best British Short Stories, Review 31, Minor Literature[s], and Lighthouse Journal, and I was shortlisted for the White Review Short Story Prize in 2020.

I’m currently working on a PhD in Literary Practice at the University of Warwick, for which I’m writing a second novel and a thesis on Theodor Adorno. I also co-edit the website creativecritical.net with Irina Dumitrescu and Thomas Karshan.

If you would like to say hello, you can write to me directly via this form or contact my literary agent, Matthew Marland at Rogers, Coleridge and White.
