Don't Sleep with the Dead

By: Nghi Vo

Narrated by: Greg D. Barnett

From award-winning author Nghi Vo comes Don't Sleep with the Dead, a standalone companion novella to The Chosen and the Beautiful, her acclaimed reimagining of The Great Gatsby.

"[Narrator Greg D. Barnett's] incisive performance enhances [Nghi] Vo's lush, lyrical prose and the novel's surreal settings..." — Library Journal

Nick Carraway―paper soldier and novelist―has found a life and a living watching the mad magical spectacle of New York high society in the late thirties. He's good at watching, and he's even better at pretending: pretending to be straight, pretending to be human, pretending he's forgotten the events of that summer in 1922.

On the eve of the second World War, however, Nick learns that someone's been watching him pretend and that memory goes both ways. When he sees a familiar face one very dark night, it quickly becomes clear that dead or not, damned or not, Jay Gatsby isn't done with him.

In all paper there is memory, and Nick's ghost has come home.

Interesting take on a well known topic

I enjoyed the authors ability recreate the world Gatsby but with many surprising twists.
