“Haunting and raw in its exploration of grief, The End by Adam Cosco is an enigmatic spiral of heartbreak, memory, and one man’s desperate search for closure. Following the devastating loss of his brilliant girlfriend, Eli seeks answers from a secretive group of philosophers and thanatologists bizarrely linked to Selene’s death. The deeper he digs, the more mysteries emerge, including a family legacy of occult belief that blurs the line between sacred, prophetic and profane. Laced with potent language, ontological themes, and the looming weight of Big Tech’s bleeding edge, this utterly unique novel is a chilling portrait of mortality and the illusions of our material world.”
