Start at the Beginning (Or Feel What You Missed)

Across the Endless Night arrives this August, and yes, technically, you can read it on its own. It follows Richard Morris six years after the death of his ex-wife, Irene, as he moves through aging, family, and the narrowing horizon of time . It is a novel about what remains when the sharp edges of a life begin to soften. But that understanding does not come from nowhere.

It begins in Letting the House Go, in the moment when Richard is pulled back into a past he has not resolved. A dying ex-wife. A fractured son. A memory that refuses to behave. A man asked to sit beside the wreckage of his own life and call it by its proper name .

That book is about confrontation. The second is about reckoning. And sure, you could start with the reckoning if you want. But you will feel the absence of the confrontation. You will sense you’ve missed something really important. That’s because you have!

To ease that issue, we are offering two options:

You can choose the 2-book bundle for $40, and read the story the way it was built: from rupture to reflection, from memory to meaning.

Or, if you’re drawn to the new book first, you can preorder Across the Endless Night and add Letting the House Go to your order. Use code TAKETHEJOURNEY and receive 25% off the prequel.

You decide what game is most fun for you.
