About Book
The Nearly Departed
Jeanne K. Johnson will drag you into a world where the dead are not at rest and the living have long forgotten the power of unresolved grief. Julie Ann Wilson, just 15 when her life was cut short, finds herself trapped in a dark, liminal space—the Shadow Lands—where souls linger, bound by regrets, unfinished business, and a relentless hunger for closure. Here, the dead don’t fade away—they fight to be heard.
As Julie meets other restless spirits, each haunted by their own tragic pasts, she discovers that the afterlife is far from peaceful. These souls are not simply waiting to move on—they are desperate to relive their regrets, confront their deepest fears, and make amends for things left unsaid. But in this world of shadows, there is a darker force at play—a Soul Robber, a soulless entity that prowls the land, waiting to steal what little remains of the departed.
Johnson’s writing is as chilling as it is captivating, pulling you deeper into the eerie, unsettling atmosphere of the Shadow Lands. With every page, she keeps you on edge, blurring the line between what is real and what is spectral. The tension is palpable, the suspense unrelenting, and the horrors are far from over.
The Nearly Departed is not just a story of death—it’s a terrifying exploration of the things that refuse to die, the secrets that can’t be buried, and the souls that will never find peace. Are you brave enough to face them?
