Roland Rogers Isn't Dead Yet is Samantha Allen's latest cross-genre fiction featuring pseudoscientific beings. Roland Rogers is an aging celebrity who invites  Adam Gallagher to his Malibu home to ghost write his memoir. Adam arrives and finds that Roland is a literal ghost. The pair must finish the memoir before Roland's body is found, giving them just a month together. Their journey of self-discovery, self-acceptance, and connection together goes to great depths. And I found myself getting emotional reading the book.  Samantha Allen infuses her signature oddball sensibility and humor throughout Roland and Adam's book just like in her first novel, Patricia Wants to Cuddle.  I already am dreaming of the next cryptid or creature Allen will write about that will have me laughing and crying.
