IGNORE THE DEAD. In Clarkson, Kentucky, Richard Chandler gets diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. Just five years after losing his wife to the disease. He contemplates ending it all. His suicide attempt is interrupted by a call from a mysterious stranger. What the stranger offers is a way to cheat death, all he has to do is give his cancer away to other people. And ignore the dead. What transpires is a story of terror, one that delves into the existential dread lurking beneath human mortality, the secrets kept in small towns, and a chilling glimpse of what lies beyond death's invisible door.There are worse fates than dying.Jay Sizemore is damn good at crafting a story and setting a scene. This book is gut-wrenchingly beautiful and terrible all at once. Ignore the Dead effortlessly feels like a classic. -Megan Stockton, author of Bluejay
A lyrical and harrowing plunge straight to the dark depths of impossible choices and undeniable consequences. Like a blend of Matheson's Button, Button, Stephen King's Thinner, and the movie Pulse.
- Ben Young, author of STUCK The premise itself is striking for anyone who has either faced serious illness or known those who have, but I think the most impressive feature of this lean novel is Sizemore's poetic voice which pervades the mood of the piece beginning to end.
-Andrew Najberg, author of The Mobius Door & GOLLITOK
