He offered her a record deal after listening to a CD demo of hers left with him by her manager Terry Slater. Ghost worked with Lukas Burton and Paul Staveley O'Duffy on the album while writing all the songs. Musically, Ghost Stories is predominantly an alternative rock album influenced by electronica and trip hop. It also incorporates elements of other genres, such as trance, breakbeat and classical music. Ghost Stories received generally positive reviews from music critics.
