A young man who has improbably escaped death twice reveals his secret in a spine-tingling short story by New York Times bestselling author Joe Hill.
Martin Lorensen is a twenty-three-year-old counselor for disturbed teenagers. He’s bright, compassionate, attractive, and outgoing. He’s also—and this is the most interesting thing—not dead. Martin has improbably survived not one but two deadly disasters that claimed dozens of lives. The kid is riding one hell of a lucky streak. Two federal agents think there is something darker at play. Now that they’ve arranged to interview Martin, they want answers. Martin is ready to share everything he knows. One thing is for certain: when it comes to escaping death, luck doesn’t figure into it at all.
Uncaged Review: Martin is 23 yrs old and being questioned by 2 detectives, Duvall and Hall about a train derailment that killed several people, and a school shooting in the past, thinking he might be part of the bigger picture. I can’t tell you much, because this book is very short, but the author hooked me within the first 2 pages, and in a short amount of time, I had a good sense of who Martin was, and one of the detectives. This is a short book, but it still packs quite a punch. Reviewed by Cyrene
