In this episode 176, we visit with award-winning writer Dale Neal, author of Appalachian Book of the Dead, a thriller filled with meditation, reincarnation, marriage and betrayal, death and rebirth, and how our fears give flesh to our hungry ghosts.
Best-selling author Ron Rash says Appalachian Book of the Dead is a novel whose excellence defies easy categorization. To call it a metaphysical thriller conveys only a part of the novel’s strengths, for the novel’s characters are as complex and vividly realized as we’d expect in more character-driven fiction. Dale Neal’s novel, once begun, will be hard for any reader to put down.”
Award winning author Joan Siler says, “I was properly scared throughout this book, and properly delighted. It begins with a double murder and a disappearance, and then the Tibetan Book of the Dead guides us through a landscape of human miscalculations. It had me enthralled from page one.”
