Peter Danforth discovers the intersection of physical death with spiritual transcendence.
Excerpt
Peter awoke trembling, breathing hard, covered with sweat. His breath came in short, panicky spasms. Whatever dream, memory or promonition had jarred him awake was now lost in the depths of his subconscious. He glanced at the clock: 4:10 a.m. Sleep was impossible. He thumbed through the AA literature from the previous night's meeting.

"What Death Can Touch" by Robert Miskimon is a compelling novel of grief, renewal, and so much more. A recovering alcoholic is confronted with the death of his daughter, and through his pain he learns that life is but a prelude. What Death Can Touch is a well written, engaging, highly recommended story that considers death as the gate to a higher level of spirituality and makes for insightful, contemplative reading.

This is rather heavy going, but worth it. Most people would rather not think about death and the afterlife, but Miskimon has given the matter more than a little thought. There's a strange dichotomy between the surface story of a newspaperman struggling to get his life in order and the under-story that death is there to gobble up everything no matter what we do. It left me feelind a little disconcerted. But I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to delve into this topic.
