“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 McFadden 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
