From Library Journal

David Robinson-despondent over his daughter's death, his recent divorce, and his unsuccessful writing career-commits suicide and awakens in the Shadowlands. He is ignorant of his powers as a wraith to contact the living but must warn his former wife about her murderous lover and acquire the lover's powerfully evil knife to free his dead daughter from the sinister Shadowlands. This dark fantasy explores the dead's connection to the living in a realistic and frightening way reminiscent of Stephen King's Insomnia. Recommended for fantasy/horror collections.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
