“The premise is powerful, and just the idea of an illness that can’t be diagnosed is in itself a mind-blowing worry, for how can one fight a disease they cannot name? …an irresistible story… hugely entertaining.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, Divine Zape (5 STARS)
“Literary in its purest form, the considerations about death, medicine and the nature of the terminal are almost spine-chilling in their creation by author W. Town Andrews.” ~ Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews, K.C. Finn (5 STARS)
Memoirs of a Transferable Soul explores this supernatural ability, and other mysteries of life, death, and the power of the human soul. For one man facing the above dilemma, the choices he makes take him on an extraordinary journey he’s reluctant to share, but relates with candor and insight.
What began as an undiagnosed, and potentially fatal mystery illness, somehow becomes a most mysterious life challenge.
When an unexpected combination of experimental medication and meandering contemplation opens a door through which his disembodied soul wanders, he discovers his new and bizarre capability, temporarily taking residence where other souls have departed. Upon his return ‘home’ each time, his terminal mystery illness wanes, while his transcendent abilities increase. The further he proceeds upon this secretive treatment path, the more difficult it becomes to turn back.
Elements of horror, science fiction, conspiracy stories, and literary fiction blend to create a thriller that explores medical, metaphysical, and ethical questions. At times harrowing, at times humorous, this story uncovers possibilities previously untapped in contemporary genre and literary fiction.
