Roland Rogers Isn't Dead Yet is a delightful and sweet novel about mortality, grief, isolation, and coming out. Adam and Roland, while different in so many ways, share an understanding of certain types of loneliness specific to gay men. Roland is lonely because he never felt comfortable coming out while in the spotlight. Adam is lonely because he feels like he doesn't fit in within his own community. As Roland gradually shares his life story with Adam, their closeness increases and they are able to help one another heal.

With this release, Samantha Allen has proved her distinct ability to write deeply entertaining paranormal stories with a ton of heart. Like Patricia Wants to Cuddle, Roland Rogers Isn't Dead Yet is full of just as many silly moments as it is cultural criticism. Both novels demonstrate Allen's grasp on the nuanced humanity behind the public figures we think we know and love.
