Ethical issues: abortion & birth control

A deafblind man pulls the trigger. Her husband falls. The board shifts. What follows isn't grief. It's awakening. Like a game she's played before and lost. A detective sees through her. And so does something older. Something darker.

After the flood, after the cataclysm, after the splitting of the veil. In the sacred stillness of the present moment, beneath the vast vault of sky, from deep within a wound in the earth, a bird sings out.

Vivien, After is a memory--and a memory lapse. It's a reflex left over from a previous present. It's the sensation people get of having lived past lives. They may well have, but not in the past.

Reviews for Vivien, After: Red Letter Edition

Praise for Grant Jerkins: ""Brilliant. Brutal. Hitchcockian. Endlessly fascinating."" --Savannah Morning News ""Dark. Chilling. Startling. No one is as they appear to be, and the twists and turns never let up."" --Library Journal (Starred Review) ""You have to admire the purity of Jerkins's writing: He's determined to peer into the darkness and tell us exactly what he sees."" --The Washington Post ""Dares us to solve a mystery in which none of the normal character cues can be taken at face value."" --The New York Times Book Review ""Grisly suspense. Unimaginable horror."" --Kirkus Reviews ""Jerkins juggles his plot twists like a top circus acrobat."" --Publishers Weekly (A Very Simple Crime) ""Maliciously cunning. Ratchets up a high level of dread."" --Publisher's Weekly (At the End of the Road) ""Darkly comic, consistently surprising, and agreeably macabre"". --Publisher's Weekly (The Ninth Step) ""Gritty, sordid, disturbing, and addictive"". --Richmond Times-Dispatch ""Reminiscent of classic thrillers--from Psycho to Deliverance to Whatever Happened to Baby Jane to Lord of the Flies."" --Atlanta Journal Constitution ""Unravels with an unstoppable momentum."" --Barnes & Noble Ransom Notes ""Absolutely pitch-perfect."" --The Florida Times-Union ""Irresistibly nerve-racking."" --Kirkus Reviews ""[His novels] keep you in their grip and leave you thinking about the story and characters long afterwards."" --Stay Curious ""Gripping. Chilling. Unexpected. The writing is top-notch. His stories are like Hitchcock movies--they take ordinary people to the dark, criminal edge."" --Minneapolis Star Tribune ""So stylishly twisted that I read it in one sitting."" --Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (Top 10 List) ""An absolutely fearless writer."" --Elizabeth A. White ""Gets to the heart of my favorite themes: Guilt, obsession, and redemption are all beautifully handled in this agonizing, character-driven thriller."" --Spinetingler Magazine ""A thriller you can't put down. The unsettling feeling of something always being a little off starts on page one."" --The Windy Page
