White Apples

Vincent Ettrich is a charming carefree man who discovers he has recently died but been mysteriously resurrected. As he tries to piece together the circumstances of his death and the reason for his return, he learns his resurrection is not just a second chance at life but also a pivotal event in a cosmic battle. Vincent's lover, Isabelle, plays a crucial role in this mystery. She is pregnant with their child, who is destined to be a key figure in this vast struggle. Their child, however, will only survive if Vincent can protect the delicate balance between life and death. This responsibility forces him to confront his past, his relationships, and the metaphysical forces that govern the universe. As Vincent uncovers the truth about his resurrection, he encounters a series of enigmatic characters and surreal events that challenge his understanding of reality. The novel delves deeply into themes of love, fate, and the cyclical nature of existence, all while maintaining a dreamlike and haunting atmosphere. Praise for White Apples: "The story is a classic Carroll romp in which personified states of mind achieve independent life, characters interact with quirky incarnations of aspects of themselves, and bizarre metaphors ... are illuminatingly literalized. ... The novel boasts its share of the fresh perspectives on life and love that Carroll's fans have come to expect." — Publishers Weekly "Carroll infuses the modern world with a sense of the supernatural, using coincidence and surrealism as his tools. The author's simple yet powerful prose and his talent for creating characters that seem both unique and familiar make this novel a good selection for most fantasy and general fiction collections." — Library Journal
