Through The Dark

We Cannot Escape The Past



A year after his wife's sudden death, Matt takes a cross country road trip with her ghost in the passenger seat. Along the way, he revisits his past and the moments he shared with her-the moments that have shaped who he is and who he will become.

Through the Dark explores the nature of love and regret, pain and hope, sorrow and healing, showing how our actions ripple throughout time and affect everyone around us.



Daily takes on love and loss through a haunting blend of realism and romanticism. His characters are well-drawn, and his themes are delivered with insight and atmosphere. Through the Dark is a painfully poignant novel that explores the power of relationships and the promise of letting go.

A beautifully spare literary telling, Brandon Daily's Through the Dark maps an evocative journey navigated by a grieving widower, his wife's ghost, and memories-an odyssey of self-discovery exploring humanity's need to be part of something greater than ourselves.
