Don't Fear The Reaper, Pt. II

by The Cunning Linguist

Ebook $5.99

She's been waiting eighty years for this morning. And she isn't afraid. At four in the morning on November 19, 2026, eighty-five-year-old Amanda Moreland wakes with the kind of clarity that only arrives once. She's been expecting this moment since she was six. She's not afraid. Neither, it turns out, is the person sitting in the chair beside her bed. Don't Fear the Reaper, Pt. II is the conclusion of a story that began in 1947, when six-year-old Amanda McKie looked across a church pew at Death — who had never been seen before, never been named before — and gave him one. She called him James. He's been James ever since. Spanning forty-six years of love, silence, grief, and resilience: Amanda's journey — as a principal, a mother, and a woman who stops speaking to James for a full decade after Valentine's Day 2001, only to find her way back. A new generation — Lamont, his wife Phoebe, and their daughter Lauren, who inherits her great-grandmother's uncanny attention without yet knowing its weight. The soul of Newark — a city defined by profound loss, quiet rebuilds, and a stubborn insistence on persisting. Perfect for readers of literary family sagas and supernatural fiction who want a story about grief that isn't about fear. After seventy-nine years together, what does Amanda finally need James to carry?
