A Child Across the Sky | Jonathan Carroll
1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
After his best friend’s suicide, a film director gets a glimpse into the beyond Like many young men before them, Weber and Philip went to Hollywood to make their fortune. Weber became one of the most respected directors of his generation, but Philip’s talent went unnoticed until he found his calling making horror pictures, a genre in which his gruesome imagination could shine. But everything changes one morning when he calls his old friend Weber to say hello, then kills himself only an hour later. From Philip, Weber inherits a box of three videotapes. The first tape begins with Philip, warning Weber of challenges ahead, mysterious things he couldn’t handle but believes that Weber can. Then Weber sees something unbelievable: a first-person view of his mother’s last minutes alive before a plane crash took her life in 1960. Weber watches her settle into her airplane seat and read a newspaper, then hears the passengers scream as the jet falls from the sky. Before he died, Philip had unlocked a terrible secret. To understand it, Weber must learn the mysteries of death—no matter the cost. This ebook contains an all-new introduction by Jonathan Carroll, as well as an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.

Perhaps the most chilling J. Carroll book I‘ve read, and if you know JC, that is intense. I had no idea this was part of a series. Almost all characters I‘ve known from other books. My mind was blown. When I was on the 2nd to last chapter a most horrible dreadful feeling washed over my whole self. I felt like it was a final feeling of how I would feel the last few minutes before I die. Like I just knew it was the end. It was very creepy.

Cosmos_Moon I‘m glad it was just the book ending. 3y
