You see the child in your peripheral vision, don't you? You hear the sweet voice, surely. You've got to follow it, find it, bring it home...now, right now.
The loss of a child is a parent's worst nightmare... Sound like a cliché? A dead metaphor? InHere After, Sean Costello galvanizes it again. Costello's first novel since 2002,Here After is a psychological/supernatural thriller whose laconic yet driven prose induces a claustrophobic atmosphere in the reader to match the one the protagonist is experiencing.
Following the death of his ten-year-old son, physician Peter Croft embarks on a desperate, seemingly random search for a missing child, sacrificing even his career in a grief-induced quest. His journey propels him into the darkest reaches of human loss, and pits him squarely against an adversary whose own obsession defies all reason.
Here After is a story of love, loss, obsession and redemption with gripping action sequences and a subtle supernatural underpinning. A compelling read from a seasoned storyteller, Costello's sixth novel will keep you reading deep into the night.
