By Terrance McKnight
When grief and guilt can find no other outlet but the most extreme measure of remedy, Max Harris finds that even death won’t have him. Nor is this the first time he’s crossed the great divide, only to come back, rejected. Whether by design or destiny, Max has escaped the clutches of death a number of times through bizarre circumstances, despite his manipulation to the contrary. Now, more than ever, he’s determined to defeat the unknown force that keeps him on the lively side of the living.
WHEN EVEN DEATH WON’T HAVE YOU, WHO CAN
YOU TURN TO FOR SOLACE FROM UNBEARABLE GRIEF?
One of the greatest yet-unsolved mysteries of life is the question of life after death. But in one man’s case, death refuses to take him into its embrace, despite the extreme measures he’s taken to give himself up to it. Many would consider that to be a miraculous opportunity for prosperity and the pursuit of self-interest. But that wouldn’t be the case if the one thing most loved in life has been stolen, and only by dying can it be recovered. In that event, it isn’t a gift; it’s a curse.
Terrance McKnight writes a masterful and emotional story of life, love, and learning to live after tragedy. It nominally encompasses the mystery of how Max Harris’s young wife dies, leaving him devastated and suicidal. As Max reflects on his short time with Elaine, reliving the phenomenal time they shared together, he has to reconcile the fact that the easy way out isn’t possible for him. McKnight is a newcomer writer whose creative talent includes an emotional translation of art into life. His decision to make his main character an artist conveys the medium by which McKnight renders this tale like breathtaking poetry. Undying may not provide any definitive answers as to what exists after death, but it provides some measure of continuity rather than an end for readers to believe in.
Undying is an amalgamation of genres done wonderfully together. Romance, mystery, suspense, and a bit of the paranormal combine in a perfect balance designed to tug at the heartstrings of readers, while steeping them with emotions rarely drawn out through modern literature. This story is for any reader with a question of mortality, the prospect of searching for a soul mate, or simply anyone who wants to challenge their own cynicism.
