Ash Wednesday
In Merridale, semi-transparent blue apparitions have appeared. These are not ghosts, exactly. They are visions of the dead in their final moments -- the final seconds of their lives portrayed for all to see. They don't move, and they really don't speak.
Ash Wednesday is a thoughtful horror story about what takes place to men and women when they are forced to gaze into the face of death and, particularly, the face of their very own private dead their pals and loved ones, people they believed to be dead and gone. Murders are exposed, rapes and other crimes. Individuals despair, and attempt to create new lives out of the wreckage. Two of these are Bradley Meyers, a vet already driven half-crazy by his experiences in Vietnam, confronted by the sight of his dead son, and now barely capable of containing his rage, and Jim Callender, whose son has died in the same accident, for which he is partly responsible. As Callender sinks into guilt, Meyers moves toward murder.
This edition of Ash Wednesday includes a final portion that was not included with the book when it was first published. It was eliminated due to an editorial choice to which I acquiesced. Following the book appeared, the last chapter was published in Bill Munster's excellent tiny press magazine, Footsteps. The complete book as originally written seems right here, and in the accompanying audiobook, for the 1st time.
