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." - from Megan Stockton, author of Bluejay
