About this listen

Do you want to live forever?

Ever since Jacob Benjamin touched his dead grandmother's cheek while she lay in her coffin, he has had a fascination with death. The mystery of the grave and what lies beyond it became a lifetime quest for the young man.

His Master's Degree thesis project explores the decades-abandoned Waxley Mortuary, sitting in ruins. His research partners join him on a journey through life and legacy, but Jacob discovers there is still activity inside the dilapidated walls of Waxley.

From the appearance of an old photo the story begins; and as the mirror of one's life reveals actions and regrets, Jacob realizes that there is one figure standing between him and his legacy, salvation, and redemption: The Mortician.

A.L. Mengel goes back to his storytelling roots with a novel about the pursuit of legacy amidst the solitude of darkness. Can one shed their transgressions to accept their shortcomings?

Fascinating Story!

The Mortician totally kept my interest. I didn't want the story to stop! The description of everyone's life as a work of art was very amazing and memorable.

Narrator ruined it for me

The narrator was really difficult to listen to. She has the voice you would expect to hear in a children's book. I really had a hard time sticking with it.
