Four strangers' lives are turned upside down when death comes for a visit
At first it seems like an ordinary dream. Talkative Englishman Ian McGann meets a long-dead acquaintance and asks him questions about the afterlife. But when he awakes, a thick pink scar stretches across his chest. Each subsequent night, as he dreams of death, he asks more questions, understands less, and awakens with increasingly gruesome injuries. When he meets an American traveler in Sardinia and tells him of his experience, the stranger begins having matching dreams-with the same painful results. Across the globe, a former TV icon struggles with leukemia, and a movie star falls in love with an HIV-positive photographer. All are flirting with death, and the more they struggle to understand the mysteries of the afterlife, the more they realize the world is not nearly as simple as they once believed. This ebook contains an all-new introduction by Jonathan Carroll, as well as an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.

Autoren-Porträt von Jonathan Carroll
Jonathan Carroll (b. 1949) is an award-winning American author of modern fantasy and slipstream novels. His debut book, The Land of Laughs (1980), tells the story of a children's author whose imagination has left the printed page and begun to influence reality. The book introduced several hallmarks of Carroll's writing, including talking animals and worlds that straddle the thin line between reality and the surreal, a technique that has seen him compared to South American magical realists. Outside the Dog Museum (1991) was named the best novel of the year by the British Fantasy Society, and has proven to be one of Carroll's most popular works. Since then he has written the Crane's View trilogy, Glass Soup (2005) and, most recently, The Ghost in Love (2008). His short stories have been collected in The Panic Hand (1995) and The Woman Who Married a Cloud (2012). He lives and writes in Vienna.

Pressezitat
“A stark, cunning parable about the excruciating fact of our own eventual deaths. . . . fine and harrowing and beautiful.” —The New York Times Book Review “[Carroll is] one of the special ones, one of the few. . . . He opens a window you did not know was there and invites you to look through it. He gives you his eyes to see with, and he gives you the world all fresh and honest and new. . . . He has the magic.” —Neil Gaiman “[A] skillfully crafted, suspenseful narrative.” —Publishers Weekly “Somberly beautiful. . . . The lean prose and formal Viennese settings add to the autumnal atmosphere of this stylish, haunting novel.” —Library Journal
