Who is Donovan Candle? He is the consummate husband. Stable, hard-working, and dedicated to his wife, Donovan is a paragon of the Middle Class. Until now. Strange visions of a monochromatic world. Bizarre sensations of physical transparency. At first, Donovan fears he's losing his grip on reality, but as the week wears on and the odd afflictions intensify, he wonders if he is truly fading from existence. When his wife is abducted, his life goes from weird to terrifying. To get her back, Donovan must play by a stranger's rules. Will he be in time to save her-and himself-from the dangers of A Life Transparent?

Following the unsettling events of A Life Transparent, Donovan Candle has struggled to redefine himself after escaping the Monochrome, a colorless reality mirroring our own. Nearly a year later, his efforts have finally paid off: his wife, Donna, is pregnant with their first child, and his novel is complete. Life for the Candle family is good—for now. Working as a private investigator alongside his brother, Donovan has witnessed the startling number of Missing Persons cases occurring around the city, familiar signs that something more devious is at play. His fears are confirmed when the bodies of several young men and women are discovered, apparent victims of a brutal murderer. At first he’s hesitant to act, but when Donna’s nephew is abducted by the suspected killer, Donovan finds he has no choice but to face his fears. This time there is more at stake than just his own happiness, and doing the right thing may come at a terrible price . . . In The Liminal Man, Todd Keisling continues the terrifying fable of Donovan Candle, entwining him in the ominous plot of a sadistic new enemy, and keeping readers enthralled until the very end.

REMEMBER HIS NAME In 2012, fans of Donovan Candle were held in suspense at the conclusion of The Liminal Man. Nine years later, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author Todd Keisling returns to finish what he started with Nonentity, the final chapter of the Monochrome Trilogy. Following the cataclysmic demise of Albert Sparrow, the balance between Monochrome and Spectrum is weakened, and both realities begin to collide. The sky is fractured, quakes tear through the earth, and pallid abominations slip between the cracks to wreak havoc upon the world. As Donna, Michael, Alice, and Quinn struggle to survive the onslaught and find safety, Donovan Candle journeys across a gray wasteland toward the Monochrome’s center. There, a sleeping entity known as the Ungod feeds on the dreams and failures of humanity—and may be the key to restoring the balance. But what awaits Donovan is far more sinister, as a centuries-old stalemate between Aleister Dullington and his former master, Pontius Vile, is reaching its breaking point…
