Whoa creepy looking book cover, very attention getting that’s for sure. I think this would make a pretty good Halloween costume if you would pull it off.
I looked the book up on Amazon and it has a storyline that you might not expect:
A deadly virus has spread rapidly across Earth, effectively cutting off wildlife specialist Laura Byrd at her crippled Antarctica research station from the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, the planet’s dead populate “the city,” located on a surreal Earth-like alternate plane, but their afterlives depend on the memories of the living, such as Laura, back on home turf.
Forced to cross the frozen tundra, Laura free-associates to keep herself alert; her random memories work to sustain a plethora of people in the city, including her best friend from childhood, a blind man she’d met in the street, her former journalism professor and her parents.
Sounds trippy and interesting not your average read I bet. I’m adding this to my to-read list but I do have one worry, a lot of times books like this have disappointing endings.
It’s like the author will come up with an awesome and different sort of concept for a book but will have no clue of how to end it. Instead of waiting to publish it until they find a good ending they’ll just throw in some lame ending that has no meaning to the story at all.
All good and fine unless you’re a reader who’s spent precious time getting into the book and then …nothing, it falls flat and you shut the book feeling like you’ve wasted all that time. Hopefully this book isn’t like that ’cause it sounds pretty interesting!

That does sound very interesting, but you are exactly right. It also sounds like it could end horribly. Making me want to send a bill to the author & publisher for hours of my life spent wasted.
Hi Rich, Ah I see you’ve had that same experience before like I have lol. To me books that have bad endings are almost worse than books that are crappy all the way through.
At least with the thoroughly crappy books you get the red flags in the beginning and know not to waste your time with it. Of course that won’t get your $$ back but you can spend all those hours doing something productive or reading a book that’s actually worth it.
