"Do you believe in ghosts? What about the afterlife? Are you truly ready to search for proof? Ethan Jacobs is a computer programmer and amateur ghost hunter who tries everything he can think of to communicate with the dead, keeping his notes in an electronic journal. After a friend talks about a ghostly encounter from her youth at a friendly get together, things start to happen in Ethan’s apartment. It starts with noises and dreams, and escalates into a life and death struggle that challenges Ethan’s faith and his will to live."
Just write! Dan writes. Well, actually, he types... so he's more of a typist than a writer. If he's any good at it is really up to you, and none of his business.
Leave a review, seriously, it's okay.
Dan lives in small town Midwest and writes and makes short films. He owes his imagination to his two beautiful children, and the guts to put it out there to a loving...and patient wife.
If you'd like more info, he's on facebook and instagram... just ask him.
I'm actually horrified of this book because a dream lead me here, I had a very satanic dream one day and woke up with a bloody nose, there was a book in the dream called the book of ethan, when i woke up the room was spinning and I felt like I had some kind of possession. I looked the book up and the first book that appeared was this one. The synchronization of my life with this book is crazy. I used to do satanic magic and I feel like it was a strong reason I had the dream. My name is jacob and I am also a computer programmer? Idk isn't that just strange, you have a satanic dream wake up, and the first thing you see is upsidedown pentagrams on the Google search. Idk maybe coincidence but this traumatic dream has caused me intense anxiety.
The Unauthorized Autobiography of Ethan Jacobs is the first full-length novel I’ve read by author Dan Dillard. I was blown away by his previous short story collections, Demons and other Inconveniences and What Tangled Webs. This story failed to have the same effect on me. I feel the author has the rare gift of telling an amazing and powerful story in short story form, but when that talent is turned into a full-length novel, some of the magic is lost. Please don’t get me wrong. The writing was great! My favorite parts of the book were Ethan’s electronic journal entries. I’m guessing that for me, the scare factor wasn’t quite what I expected it to be. Surprisingly, I found myself struggling to get through the story. Again, this is not a bad story at all. But maybe I shouldn’t have attempted to read this book so soon after reading his other two books which I could only classify as masterpieces in the horror genre.
