Summary

This debut thriller of angels, demons, and corporate espionage is “part fantasy, part gripping depiction of delusional madness . . . Take the plunge” (Vanity Fair).   A nameless angel has been out of God’s favor since things went wrong with his last mission, two thousand years ago. He has spent the intervening millennia watching humanity fall into moral disrepair. Lately, he’s been watching Will, a London businessman attempting to expose his company’s dark dealings to the press. But Will’s campaign is not going well.   In a moment of weakness and bravado, the angel decides to spiritually take Will over—“jumping in” as he did with Jesus of Nazareth. But as the angel comes up against demonic forces fighting to maintain the status quo, Will increasingly loses his grip on himself. Is he truly caught in a cosmic struggle of good versus evil . . . or merely a delusional man crushed by the hypocrisies of modern society?   Powerfully written, fast-paced, and perfect for fans of Chuck Palahniuk, Joe Hill, and Bret Easton Ellis, What I Tell You in the Dark is an unsettling story of omnipotence, mayhem, capitalism, and corruption.

    A dead man pursues the secrets of his life and death in this “dense, subtle, substantive, perfectly shaped fiction” by the author of I, Lucifer (The Guardian, UK). 
 
Nathan Clark’s gravestone reads: At rest. But Nathan is not at rest, and knows he won’t be until he finds out why he died. How has he come to hover over his own funeral, a spectral spectator to the grief of his family and friends? Privy now to their innermost thoughts and feelings, Nathan spends the day of his wake getting to know the living as he has never known them before. But why isn’t Nathan’s young daughter Lois at the wake? Who are the two strangers at the funeral, and why does their presence fill him with dread?  
 
Nathan knows he has only so long to unlock these mysteries, because he is drawn time and again to a room in his house he never knew existed–a room that holds a terrifying secret.  
 
“Duncan's exhilarating, almost exhausting flood of insight into family patterns of love and habit is matched by the rich unexpectedness of his writing and the complex construction of the narrative.”—Publishers Weekly, starred review
