About the author

J.P. Leck is the architect of The Endless Elsewhere, a vast, multimedia narrative, which consists of novels, short stories, short films, radio plays, comic books and a podcast. Some installments occur in the distant past, while many do so in our own present, and still others are set in the far-off future, yet all of it belongs to one vast, interconnected story. This is a saga of the phantasmal and the fantastic, of the weird and the wondrous, of a great darkness and a greater light that overcomes it.

A good book, though not as good as the first in the series (and you need to have read that one!). There are also some points where the pace falls and it gets tough to push on.

I loved this series! The first 2 books I bought while at a horror convention in Indianapolis on impulse as I loved the look of the books & the author being quite the salesmen. I don’t regret doing so for a moment.
The story takes place 50 years after its predecessor “The Strangely Undying”.
We are introduced to 2 new characters reporter Mary Clare & retired magician turned ghost debunker as they go to Stranglehold Manor in the effort to find if it’s really haunted like the locals say. They meet up with Dr. Pendergast, now well into his 70s, & he convinces the two to join him to finish what he started. We do get to be reacquainted with a few characters from the previous books. While the majority of the book kept me interested & there was some great fight scenes & plenty of suspense, there were a few spots that it was a bit tedious to get through.
I would recommend these books to anyone.

This is the third book in a trilogy, but none of the books rely on one another, they just tell whole stories that are fundamentally connected. And they are all amazing. Intelligent, compelling, fantastically plotted, compulsively readable, and beautifully written. Fantasy with a touch of scifi, set in fairly recent history. Definitely recommend!

The Tremendously Endless, the third novel by J.P. Leck, was an enjoyable trip into the Elsewhere World, the best of the series in my opinion.

This is a continuation of the story started in The Merely Mortal and The Strangely Undying. While one can thoroughly enjoy the second story without reading the first, I would recommend reading both of the previous books because of this one. The Tremendously Endless is well written enough you won't be lost without reading the other two, the latter will spoil parts of the previous two stories.

This is a fantasy book with a few hints of horror. It is also written from a Christian worldview, but is not at all preachy.

J.P. Leck has joined the chart of my favorite authors. This volume seems to have closed the series (key word is "seems"), but I'll be looking forward to his next book.

This is, perhaps, Leck's best novel to date! It looks forward to the future of his Elsewhere World meta-narrative already laid out in several short stories, short films, radio plays, and photographic novels, but is ever mindful of how his previous texts - THE MERELY MORTAL and THE STRANGELY UNDYING - fit into that overall story. The narrative is tight and focused easily on, which helps to arrest the reader's interest. The moments at the end which plod a bit are forgivable and, interestingly enough, accounted for within the narrative itself. This novel leaves me anxious for the next adventure Leck has planned in this Elsewhere World!
