Tuba Aktaş Deli
In a city blanketed in snow—and lies—one boy sets out to uncover the truth.
When the papers start reporting sightings of a terrifying “Snow Ghost,” panic spreads like a blizzard. Some say it hurls ice spears. Others warn of snowball grenades and frozen missiles. As the legend grows, it takes on a life of its own—fuelled by playground whispers, street chatter, and headline hysteria.
But Rüzgâr isn’t convinced. While the city hides in fear, he assembles a ghost-hunting team and sets out to investigate. What he uncovers is far stranger—and more revealing—than he ever expected.
The Snow Ghost is a sharp, darkly funny novel about the speed of rumor, the power of fear, and the fragile pursuit of truth. With satirical bite and imaginative flair, Tuba Aktaş Deli challenges readers to question what they’re told—and why they choose to believe.
