Highlights
Every line you keep — searchable, citable, yours.
Drop in any book, paper, or article. Your ghost reads alongside you in the margin — marking what matters, answering anything, and remembering it all, so you read deeper and keep more.
You read more than ever, and remember less than ever. GhostReader is a reading companion that closes the gap — marking what matters, answering anything, and holding the thread across everything you've ever read.
a real page — scroll it like a book. the ghost works the margin as you go.
it was on a dreary night of november that i beheld the accomplishment of my toils. with an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, i collected the instruments of life around me, that i might infuse a spark of being1 into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet.
it was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive2 motion agitated its limbs.
i had worked for nearly two years for the sole purpose of infusing life into an inanimate body. but now that i had finished, the beauty of the dream vanished, and breathless horror and disgust filled my heart3.
