Never Dead

Emerson McGee has spent most of his life living with a secret, and the first-year law student's menacing struggle with his sexuality is only the half of it. His wife, Danielle, has her own scars of adolescent heartache-which she thinly veils behind her façade as an upper-middle class princess. The newlywed's cookie-cutter marriage is abruptly interrupted when they make a reluctant move into the quaint house Emerson inherited from his deceased grandmother. Unbeknownst to them, there's already something else living there: A malevolent entity hell-bent on exposing its connection to Emerson and the tragic secret they share.

A GHOST'S STORY

While a mysterious narrator recounts the details of his abject life, the McGee's vengeful poltergeist pulls Danielle deeper into a mystery that has haunted an impoverished ghetto in South Baton Rouge-aptly called "'Da Bottom"-for nearly a decade, and spills into the provocative world of New Orleans hoodoo. Before its final scare, Never Dead concludes with a bloody twist the McGees never saw coming.
