“I’m a sucker for a good ghost story, and I decided to write a ghost story that I would want to read,” Larson said. In the novella, Larson’s first published work of fiction, James and his contemporaries travel to investigate a haunted house on a fictional island off the coast of England, an expedition that takes a surprising and deadly turn when evil manifestations emerge. His new book, “No One Goes Alone,” which Penguin Random House Audio will release as a stand-alone audiobook in late September, is a historical novella that follows the ghost-hunting exploits of the 19th-century psychologist and philosopher William James. But with his latest project, he’s crossed over into the supernatural, and into a new narrative format. So far, all of Larson’s terrifying stories have been based on historical records and facts. “I love to be scared,” he said of his grisly subject matter. Over the last three decades, Erik Larson has written books about a serial killer, a killer storm, a murderous homeopathic doctor, a teenage gunman and one of the most deadly maritime disasters in history.
