It tells the story of a professor of Comparative Literature who is beginning to suspect that his wife, Christine, an ex-student some 20 years his junior, is harboring dark secrets about her past.
To uncover these secrets, he teams up with Christine's psychologist, and the two use deception to find out about her mysterious past, which is personified by her even more mysterious father, whose ghost-like presence is felt throughout the novel. In the climatic scene of Lovers Living, Lovers Dead, Michael (the professor / husband) raids his wife's secret hope chest, finding out that Christine's "wild stories" about her father's trips to Africa and the Far East, where he consorted with "witch doctors" and tribal chieftains, were not tales after all, but realities. He finds millions in Swiss bank accounts, pornographic pictures of his wife being incested as an infant (so that she could not be sacrificed as a virgin), and a huge dildo. As it turns out, Christine's father struck a deal with the devil as it were, one in which he delivered his daughter's soul in order to save her from becoming a human sacrifice.
LOVERS LIVING, LOVERS DEAD is one of six books selected each year for republication by SECOND CHANCE PRESS, which seeks out contemporary books of exceptional quality deserving of wider audiences.
