Story Behind The Book
Reading The Dead began as a screenplay I finished in 2011. After moving on to short stories for a while, I sought to try something larger. Going back over the script, rough though it was, I found myself enjoying the interactions between Sarah and Anna, and recognized the unpolished gem that I had in their story. Despite the paranormal and mystery elements interwoven throughout the tale, what caught me about the script was its underlying story of two friends overcoming obstacles to find a place in each other's lives again. That's the story I saw when I read it, and I hope I managed to do it justice now.
