A man is drawn to a woman hiding a dark secret in a thriller Stephen King calls "terrifying, compelling reading." Max Fischer is at the Los Angeles County Museum when he sees the woman and child who will change his life. They are Lincoln and Lily Aaron, a precocious ten-year-old and his quick-witted mother, and before Max realizes it, he's inviting them to lunch. It seems like an innocent chance encounter, but in the years to come Max will wonder if he hadn't been doomed from the start. He falls quickly for the beautiful, opinionated woman, and is about to propose marriage when he learns that Lily is harboring a dark secret--one that will change Max's life forever. This ebook contains an all-new introduction by Jonathan Carroll, as well as an exclusive illustrated biography of the author including rare images from his personal collection.

Jonathan Carroll tends to write magical realism, so After Silence was a.. very different monster. Realistic fiction, it didn't hold the typical marks of a Carroll book. The humor was only there in small pieces, for the most part it was part and parcel a view of his nihilism.
The story follows Max Fischer, a cartoonist, as he enters into a relationship with Lily Aaron and her son Lincoln. After some time he begins noticing strange things occurring. There is no trace of her supposed ex-husband, facts begin not adding up. He delves into the mystery, and realizes that she has quite the questionable past. Here come the questions of morality - does this change his love for her? How does it affect Lincoln?
I didn't dislike the book, but I didn't like it as much as I typically enjoy his novels. The book made me uncomfortable, would be the easiest way to put it. I respect the book for making me uncomfortable, but I don't think I would read it again. I'd more just let it sit, and continue letting it sit for a very long while.
