The Resurrectionist (eBook)
Description
The Resurrectionist is a wild ride into a territory where nothing is as it appears. Part classic noir thriller part fabulist fable it is the story of Sweeney and his comatose son Danny. Hoping for a miracle Sweeney has brought Danny to the fortresslike Peck Clinic whose doctors claim to have "resurrected" patients who were similarly lost in the void. but the real cure for his son's condition may lie in Limbo a comic book world beloved by Danny before he slipped into a coma. O'Connell has crafted a spellbinding novel about stories and what they can do for and to those who create them and those who consume them. About the nature of consciousness and the power of the unknown. And ultimately about forgiveness and the depth of our need to extend it and receive it.
