Synopsis

A major bummer, Agnes Blatt is dead.

Immediately after being struck by a car, she finds herself on a conveyor belt in the Fourth Bardo. There she joins forces with Jerry, her high school crush, and Patsy, an adorable dog who lived on her street.

The three dead souls travel together through all of the afterlife, battling demons, warding off ill-intentioned angels, and defending their three-souled union to everyone they meet.

When Agnes finds a knife that can cut through illusions, the trio hack their way through the wilderness of the afterlife, tumbling from one adventure to another.

About the Author

"...An important new literary voice"

Duncan MacLeod's biography intersects with those of other transgressive writers. Like Jack Kerouac, he dropped out of Columbia University to go to San Francisco. Like William Burroughs, he battled (and beat) an addiction to heroin. Like Sylvia Plath, he spent time in mental institutions recovering from depression. Like Allen Ginsberg, he is unapologetically gay.

His creative experiences are diverse and include directing a feature documentary called La Lucha/The Struggle, performing lead Autoharp in the band "The Acres", and writing the semi-autobiographical series of novels called, The Psychotic Break Series. These fictionalized memoirs depict the raw and unforgettable tale of young Ethan Lloyd, set in the backdrop of 1980s San Francisco. The books depict a lost generation living in a city that has since disappeared.

Duncan is now working on the sequel to Agnes in the Fifth Bardo. He is enjoying his life as an author and living in greater Los Angeles with his partner, Rafael.
