Fog choked the town in 1988, a thick, silent scream that swallowed Charlie Cooper whole as he walked to the bus stop for the last time. Ten years later, the town remained shrouded in his absence. Faded missing person posters peeled on lampposts, a constant reminder of the wound that never healed. At the police station, a chair sat empty, a monument to a case gone cold. Charlie’s father, a ghost in his own right, drowned his sorrows in the dim corner booth of a forgotten tavern.

But there was one flicker of hope amidst the fog. Amee Florence, thirteen with mousy hair and a cool, pale complexion, held a secret behind her eyes. It was a secret that could pierce the veil of that fateful day, a secret that might reveal why Charlie Cooper never came home.

This is Scotland like you’ve never experienced it before. Seeing Dead by Edgar Jackson is a captivating novel that is bold, funny, scary, and heartbreaking in equal measure, capturing the very soul of Scotland in a way that will leave you breathless.

Suspense builds with every turn of the page, making this a true page-turner you won’t be able to put down. At the heart of the story lies the impressive development of its characters. From the grieving father, David Cooper, to the bullied boy, Marty Evans, and the enigmatic Amee Florence with her hidden secrets, each character will resonate with readers long after the final chapter.

This novel’s universal themes and relatable characters transcend borders, making it a captivating read not just for Scotland, but for audiences worldwide.

Seeing Dead was started way back in 2016. I love horror, comedy, thrillers, and mysteries, which is why I’ve mixed them all together in one big pot to form the ingredients of this book!
