Isaac Stone's life has changed ever since he arrived at the scene of a deadly car crash involving his brother Felix. Months later, a now reclusive Felix asks to meet and says that the woman Isaac saw die in the accident is actually alive. Consumed with helping Felix recover from this apparent derangement, Isaac has to confront his own psychological disfigurement-a buried trauma from his youth affiliated with the realm of the unknown. Isaac must examine the fragmented pieces of his past if he's to ever overcome its darkness and help himself and Felix regain their trust in the reality of the world around them. Flush with suspense and terror, My Place Among the Dead is a modern psychological thriller in the tradition of Shirley Jackson and Edgar Allen Poe-a chilling, existential journey from one of the most original new voices in contemporary literature.
