The Loneliest - Stacey Cochran - Bog

One year after the heartbreaking loss of his wife, novelist Jason Roberts discovers a cabin hidden far away from the world in North Carolina's Appalachian Mountains. Jackie, his wife, was far too young to die. Now Jason must come to terms with grief and loneliness. Under pressure to deliver a new novel, Jason's mind begins to shatter. He hears voices in the woods, begins seeing children playing in the forest, and starts to lose his hold on reality... as the characters from his latest novel begin appearing in the real world around him. Jason slips into the delusion that he can materialize the very things he's writing in his book. But the cruelest trick of all comes when he writes Jackie into his story... and is visited by her beautiful, ghostly presence in a cavernous underground lake. For Jason, he must make a decision to join her in the afterlife by taking his own life, or by holding on to the tattered remains of life without his one true love. *** Part psychological thriller, part paranormal romance, The Loneliest is a mind-bending trip through the creative process of a damaged novelist writing his way toward redemption.
