You Can't Save What Isn't There
by Paul Michael Anderson
About the Book:
When Cal Matheson's daughter was killed by a drunk driver, he felt he'd lost everything that mattered.
However, as he slowly begins to rebuild his life with a new home and a new job, he's given an inexplicable and supernatural opportunity--but is it to exact revenge on those he holds responsible for his loss in the most ghastly ways imaginable...or to fulfill his potential as an artist and human? And what is the cost of making the wrong choice?
This tale of rage and redemption from "the modern master of grief horror" (Laurel Hightower, Crossroads) will strike a chord with anyone who has suffered loss and felt the dark call of destructive anger.

"Paul Michael Anderson is the modern master of grief horror. You Can’t Save What Isn’t There is a scalpel-sharp and harrowing experience, propulsive in its pacing even as it cuts to your marrow. There's nothing surface level about Anderson's prose, his words a keening cry of loss and rage. Dark, poignant and heartbreakingly brutal—don't miss it."

Additional blurbs, because oh my goodness this has some cool ones:
"For some, grief is a process, for others it's a black hole. You Can’t Save What Isn’t There by Paul Michael Anderson is an unapologetic story of one man's descent into darkness. Cal suffers in the wake of his daughter's death, but finds his body beginning to change as he allows his sorrow to overpower the person he'd once been. A fast paced, mysterious, and unflinching read that had me catching my breath in the aftermath of its perfect ending."
—Chris Panatier, author of The Redemption Of Morgan Bright and The Phlebotomist
“Paul Michael Anderson puts the physical in metaphysical portraying the darkly
transformative powers of grief and rage in a story where every parent’s worst
nightmare triggers a monstrous metamorphosis as he places his characters on a
looping track of tragedy. Pairing Grand Guignol violence with devastating emotion,
You Can’t Save What Isn’t There
maximizes readers’ pain and shows how facing the truth can often be the most
frightening act of all.”
—Patrick Barb, author of The Children's Horror and Pre-Approved
For Haunting
"In You Can’t
Save What Isn’t There, Paul Michael Anderson slams us face-first into a
gut-wrenching tale of a father’s devastation and seemingly justified
retaliation. This fast, hard-hitting tale whips us through what happens when we
give in to our inner demons and the way grief and anger can change who we once
were. It will leave you wondering how you battle back from the worst day of
your life and questioning the scars you collect along the way."
—James Sabata, author of Fat Camp
“Anderson announces himself as a major talent in the dark fiction realm, capable of fashioning imaginative, bold visions.”
