Nook edition of He Who Shall Remain Shameless now available!

For those readers with a Nook, may we direct you to the page for He Who Shall Remain Shameless now up on Barnes & Noble’s website. Simply click on the title of this post (“Nook edition of…”) and you’ll be taken to the B&N page. Alternatively, you can click on the Books link that’s below the Macromere Press header.

The B&N Nook page includes a slightly more expansive book description:

“Harriet Quimby. Christine Chubbuck. Christopher Coe. King Aegeus. Andrew Kehoe. Linda Gary. Leo Ryan. These are just some of the spirits our hero and narrator David Michael Ewald (not the author of this book) encounters as he travels the world trying to convince those who died long ago and those who died more recently that their salvation lies with the Internet. Will these ghosts of the semi-famous, the would-be famous, and the almost-forgotten accept his help and become part of the social-networking new world, or will the Meritocrat, our hero and narrator’s unruly, unwieldy, nebulous archnemesis triumph instead? Find out in He Who Shall Remain Shameless, a paranormal adventure novel comprised of fourteen linked stories by David Ewald.”

We’ll be speaking in a future post with David Ewald—the author—about just who this protagonist, David Michael Ewald, really is.

The dead have nothing to say to us….It’s our own narcissism that makes us think they even care.

- Janice Soprano

  The Sopranos, “Calling All Cars” (season 4, episode 11)

Macromere: Why this quote?

David: I feel this quote says a lot about He Who Shall Remain Shameless. I don’t really see the book as having an epigraph, but if it did this would be it.

M: Context?

D: To me Janice is saying that the belief in ghosts is a reflection of our own narcissism, and I wonder if that’s true: Does a belief in paranormal activity, specifically deceased individuals coming back to haunt us—does that say more about the living than it does about the deceased? It’s a question that’s at the heart of He Who Shall Remain Shameless, as the hero and narrator comes to question what he sees and does.

M: And the Internet is also wrapped up in this?

D: The Internet exacerbates this idea. Narcissism and the Internet go hand-in-hand, and when paranormal activity is factored in….well, you have He Who Shall Remain Shameless.

(editor’s note: We understand that ‘Its’ is spelled ‘It’s’—with an apostrophe—in the quote above; however, tumblr seems unable to make the correct spelling.)
