About this audiobook
What does a man see when he dies, and what does he do with that knowledge once he returns?
Pronounced dead by the physicians at his bedside, the narrator of this extraordinary Victorian diary lay lifeless for two days before, to everyone's astonishment, he came back to life. What he wrote down afterwards is the document you are about to hear: a haunting, deeply personal record of the soul's passage beyond the grave, set down with the urgency of a man who cannot stay silent about what he has witnessed.
First published in 1890, Coulson Kernahan's debut novel was a critical success that established him as a serious voice in English fiction. Part vision, part confession, part moral meditation, A Dead Man's Diary blends the Gothic imagination of its age with timeless questions about heaven and hell, faith and self-deception, conscience and judgment, and what truly matters when everything else falls away.
Eerie, earnest, and unexpectedly moving, this forgotten classic of visionary fiction is for anyone who has ever lain awake wondering what lies beyond the veil.
