The Ghost and the Goth is a 2010 paranormal romance young adult novel written by Stacey Kade and published by Hyperion Books.

The book follows two different view points, Alona Dare (The Ghost) and Will Killian (The Goth).

Alona Dare was the most popular girl in school, at least she was until she was hit by a bus.

Alona, used to getting her own way, haunts Will until he agrees to help her figure out how to cross over to the big white light that she keeps expecting.

Will has problems of his own; every ghost in Groundsboro High, including a seething black mass of energy, knows that he can see them, and they all want him to carry out their final wishes.
