"What Death Taught Terrence offers a powerful, painful, and poignant look at the life of a man rarely encountered in fiction. Derek McFadden writes with an insight few can match."
- T.F. Allen, author of The Night Janitor and The Keeper
"A good story allows the reader to experience life as another person, and McFadden made me do so on a deeply personal level. If you like the works of Mitch Albom, I think you'll find What Death Taught Terrence a worthy addition to your library and the reading of it a life-affirming journey."
- Bradley Harper, Edgar-Award Finalist, author of A Knife In The Fog and Queen's Gambit.
"In What Death Taught Terrence, Derek McFaden builds a world that satisfies both our desire for imagination and our need for personal introspection. I found this story immediately immersive, and it stuck with me long after I finished. McFadden is doing something rare in today's fiction-exploring the limits of what we will believe to form a better understanding of who we are."
- Alex Dolan, author of The Euthanist and The Empress Of Tempera
