Official Apex Reviews Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐
D. M. Schuler’s novel Someone Else is a powerful narrative about very heavy themes.
Schuler presents the story from the point-of-view of a modern-day suicide survivor and
victim of child abuse while weaving in glimpses of characters from a previous century.
Throughout the novel, the protagonist Collin must deal with the tragic circumstances of
his youth while attempting not to succumb to the pressure of suicide again. His loving
family and supportive friends all surround him, constantly trying to coddle him and avoid
future “accidents” as his mother refers to his suicide attempt. However, it isn’t until very
strange, supernatural events begin to occur that Collin begins to experience an inner
transformation. When he randomly begins to see visions of strangers in seemingly real-
life occurrences, Collin is filled with a burning curiosity to understand more. This propels
him on a quest in which he uncovers centuries old secrets. As he unravels the mysteries
of the past, he slowly begins to open up to his own loved ones about what really
happened to him as a child, what compelled him to attempt suicide.
The entire narrative is an engaging read, drawing the reader in, leaving one with a
desire to know what is next. The characters are realistic and likeable human beings, the
kinds of people one would enjoy being friends with. The most remarkable feature of the
novel, however, is the way the author is able to write about such heavy topics without
making the whole story too serious or overwhelming. Schuler interjects humor and levity
throughout, allowing the reader to absorb the tragedy with lighthearted elements.
Someone Else is truly a valuable read and worth taking the time to peruse both for
survivors of tragic events and for anyone who wishes to understand the pain and
emotions that lead to suicide.
