Just because Wilkin's a crackhead doesn't mean the shadows aren't real.

They're real. And they've been haunting him since he was seven years old. Mostly he ignores them.

But when the ghost of his best friend from childhood shows up at the local motel, Wilkin can't ignore the call of friendship. And when his friend's killer buys the motel so he can destroy the remains, Wilkin can't ignore that, either.

Wilkin steals his friend's skull before the killer can destroy it and is plunged into a hot mess of a supernatural thrill ride.

A death-race pursuit of a child's skull. A spirit-whispering trucker hauling plush toys to Kansas. Five demonic farm-kids in a housing project. A Dodge City marshal who executes wayward ghosts. A nasty yellow jersey that takes the joy out of living. And a graveyard full of snitches.

It's enough to make you want to hit the crackpipe. All leading to a climax where staying alive is the least of Wilkin's worries.

Because when most of the people around you are spirits anyway, DEATH AIN'T BUT A WORD.

I didn't really know if I would like this, but gave it a chance. The only negative I have is that I didn't like the language, BUT, the main character is a homeless crack head, so I kind of expected it. And, it wasn't nearly as thick with the language as I thought it would be.
23 years ago, 16 year old sociopath Bobby Templey murdered a 7 year old boy named Humphrey Timmons. Humphrey's best friend was a little boy named Wilkin Jones. Wilkin can see ghosts, and it turns out that a lot of people can. When Wilkin was 11, his parents and sisters were killed by a drunk driver. From then on, Wilkin's life went downhill, being cared for by an aunt who let him down and with his inability to leave Humphrey behind. Now Wilkin is a 30 year old crack head with nowhere to go but the rundown motel where Humphrey's killer buried his body all those years ago.
But Humphrey's killer has come back. He buys the motel and tears it down. He wants Humphrey's bones. When Wilkin gets there first and takes Humphrey's skull, the chase is on. Bobby Templey has no idea how Wilkin knew the bones were there, but but he has to get rid of Wilkin and anyone who stands in his way.
Starting out in an inner city in TX, we wind up in a barn in KS, but I was rooting for Wilkin all the way. He does what he must to survive, but tries very hard to do it with minimal harm to others. He has always thought of his gift as a curse, and when others who have the same gift try to convince him that he has a calling to fullfill, he resists mightily.
I wont give any spoilers, but I'll just say that I never thought I would read a book about a crack head that would make me see him as a fragile human, or to feel the loss of his childhood. In the end he must save himself, and there are some surprising results. It was also nice to see Virgil Earp as a character. Yes, that Virgil Earp.

I had heard a lot of good things about this book before I got and I will say that they were justified. Now, it starts off a little slowly as it establishes who and what the characters are in relation to each other. And though we meet quite a few different characters they are not all fully fleshed out with a background and such they still a vital purpose in the story. The ebb and flow of the story was good and made understanding what was going on and why very easy to follow. Though some might not be able to always follow the conversations, the use of slang is limited and mostly explained when it is used. The idea behind this was just so delicious to me and I guess I could not help but like it, it spoke to me very loudly.

Wilkin Jones is a crackhead but he is so much than just that and he wishes that he were not. It has been twenty-three years since his best friend disappeared and was presumed dead, but he has kept in touch off and on over the years. When the killer comes back and wants to clean up after himself, Wilkin finds that he is in the middle of something that could cause him to step over the veil. He has fought who is for years and now he may not be able to do that any longer if he wants to survive.

The thought of a crackhead being the main focus was intriguing to me and it proved to be very entertaining. I found myself smiling a lot while reading this as well as getting a bit weepy at times. Wilkin is a likable guy who I can see myself knowing in real life. Some of these characters remind me of people from my old neighborhood and they were mostly good folks who just fell. I would recommend this to everyone! A different kind of ghost story that brings things into the light.

5,0 su 5 stelle A Surprisingly Good Read
Recensito negli Stati Uniti il 29 ottobre 2012

I have to admit right up front that I have read very few paranormal mystery novels, and even fewer with homeless crackheads as major protagonists. I didn't really no what to expect when I started _Death Ain't but a Word_, but I am so glad that I invested the .99 cents and one evening (I read it in one sitting) to find out. It is a remarkably good novel that is fast-paced, compulsively readable, thought-provoking, and fun.

The novel centers around Wilkin Jones,a homeless man and halfhearted crackhead from Dallas, Texas, who happens to have a second sight: he sees dead people. As the novel begins, his dead-people seeing starts to focus intensely on a young boy named Humphrey, who had been his best friend in childhood until being murdered by a psychopath when he was seven years old. As the novel progresses, Wilkin, Humphrey (the ghost version thereof), and the psychopath are all sucked into a a subtle revenge plot where death is only the first move. As he comes to terms with his personal ghosts--both past and present--Wilkin discovers that there are other people like him scattered around the world dealing with ghosts in much the same way that the Men in Black deal with aliens--a development that gives us hope that we might see these same characters again in another adventure.

It is important, I think, that the story takes place largely among homeless drug addicts, who are easy to stereotype and, therefore, able to surprise us constantly with their wit and their humanity. Zander Marks has an excellent ear for dialogue and a strong sense of what makes a story impossible to put down. There is not a wasted word in the book. The story is always moving towards its final culmination, with mysteries constantly being introduced and unraveled, and characters who really matter to the reader. _Death Ain't but a Word_ is also one of those rare novels that manages to be serious without taking itself too seriously. There is a moral to the story, and some profound analysis of human nature, redemption, and forgiveness--but none of this gets in the way of a wickedly funny, smart, and action-packed mystery about crackheads talking to ghosts.

5,0 su 5 stelle A Pleasant Trip Between Here and There!

A crackhead, a ghost and a pervert walk into a motel... No, this is not the beginning of a joke but an introduction to the three main characters and the setting of this supernatural, urban, humorous, murder-mystery novel. From the moment these three meet up, it's bug-your-eyes thrilling.

The scene I liked the best was...well, heck, there were way too many spectacular scenes to choose a favorite. Like the mirror scene when the crackhead, er, Wilkins is at "work," stealing--hilarious and poignant. Or the scene when we meet the Mayfield children--chilling. And then there's the scene with a historical character who fights crime in the ghost world--educational and rib-tickling. I'll never forget the barn scene; scary, Stephen King "IT" scary. And I should mention the love scene near the end. No, not a sexual love scene but the explicit love between two longstanding friends--very moving.

I rarely read a book more than once but this one will be read again. I really loved the storyline and the characters. But also it's worthy of a second read because the story has so many layers. I feel like I've missed something and only a second or third read through will guarantee I catch all the subtleties.

Buy and read this book. It will be a rewarding dip into your entertainment budget and time. I should warn you though that you'll be enjoying this reading adventure at the peril of your other obligations. Laundry will go ignored. The kids may starve. Social media becomes a memory. Appointments will come and go. And the job? What job? But who cares? You're reading the best book of the year! How special is that?!
