A thought-provoking excursion to life's last breath

Ernest Dempsey's second collection of short stories The Blue Fairy takesa subject that has been dreaded for centuries - 'Death'. It is one of the fewworks of fiction, which neither treats the subject as the 'D word' by bringingin fantasies of afterlife nor compromises the solemnity by trying toevaporate the reality of death in humor. Instead, Dempsey explores themany sides to the subject that make the final departure a meaningful realityof existence. Inspired mostly by real life experiences, Dempsey's TheBlue Fairy ingeniously integrates dying with living. It is a book for thesoul.

Acclaim for the writing of Ernest Dempsey

"There is something about the somberness of his search for moral principlesthat reminds me of Victorian poets such as Tennyson, Bronte,Kipling, and Hardy writing in the 19th century. Bringing these themesinto 21st century views is an interesting task."
-Janet Grace Riehl, Village Wisdom

"Following clearly in the footsteps of Rod Serling or his distant predecessor,Edgar Allan Poe, comes a fresh new voice in world fiction. ErnestDempsey conveys the freight of emotion with a twist of irony in his firstcollection of short stories which address the tender lines between life anddeath."
-Victor R. Volkman, host of Authors Access
