Afterlife
by Douglas Clegg
A school for special children. An unsolved murder. A terrified widow. A dream
of blood and lost souls. A stranger with an unspeakable secret. It all comes
together in the afterlife.
Praise & Reviews:
"Starred Review. Stoker-winner Clegg (The Hour Before Dark) has
an uncanny ability to frighten readers by chronicling everyday characters' perilous
descents into their own private hells. Julie Hutchinson mentally unravels after
the brutal and mysterious murder of her husband, Jeff, in this stand-alone tale
full of subtle suspense, inventive twists and credible characters. Julie has
erotic nightmares and hideous hallucinations while slowly trying to piece together
the decades-old puzzle involving her husband's past work with Project Daylight,
a now-defunct privately funded school that conducted experiments on young children
with ESP. Eventually, with the assistance of her mother, daughter and stepson,
as well as Jeff's ex-wife and Michael Diamond, a popular TV psychic, Julie unearths
bizarre secrets about her family that lead her to an underground society of
scientific misfits. The book's final sentence is guaranteed to unnerve readers
and leave them wanting more."
