Death of the Senses	comment	Final Destination: Death of the Senses is a novel by Andy McDermott, released and then pulled by Black Flame in 2006. It was, due to a printing error, only available for a short period of time before being recalled, leaving only a few copies in circulation.When Jack Curtis has a horrific vision one snowy night, his actions save the life of young policewoman Amy Tom from a brutal psychopath and more people besides. However, the man was supposed to have embarked on a deranged killing spree and now Death is several bodies short. As Death begins to balance his books, Jack and Amy must race to warn all of the intended victims before Death collects his due.

Death of the Senses / int_7301ae04	type	Serial Killer
Death of the Senses / int_7301ae04	comment	Serial Killer: Instead of a large-scale disaster, the book takes the arguably more interesting route of having the visionary kill a would-be serial killer who had intended to murder several people, who the main character must now desperately track down as Death starts working down the dead lunatic's hit list.

Death of the Senses / int_8cd96e6c	type	Nasal Trauma
Death of the Senses / int_8cd96e6c	comment	Nasal Trauma: Amongst the victims Jack sees during his vision is a man with his nose cut off. Dawson Donahue, a businessman who runs the city's garbage disposal, who represents smell, ironically doesn't have this as part of his eventual fate. He does smell a gas leak, but his face otherwise remains unharmed when he dies, as he's done in by his car being launched towards him from the exploding engine and smashing his ribs and spine against a wall.

Death of the Senses / int_8ed5c6e4	type	Asshole Victim
Death of the Senses / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: In very stark contrast to most of the Final Destination franchise, mostly subverted as most of the victims are actually kind, sympathetic and genuinely caring, or at least have some compelling Hidden Depths, but there's still a few, such as the callous and selfish reporter, Chelsea Cox, Dawson Donahue, who runs the city's garbage disposal, but very poorly and consistently treats the protagonists like shit even as they try to save him, and Celebrity Chef Dominique Swann, who refuses to believe any of the other characters about how much her life is danger until she nearly dies and they barely save her, not that that is enough to take her off death's list.

Death of the Senses / int_a2b38d3b	comment	Eye Scream: Jack sees a woman with her eyes gouged out in his vision. This turns out to be Chelsea, a reporter who represents sight, and who dies "properly" by getting a two-pronged icicle through both of her eyes.

Death of the Senses / int_d1522cf	comment	Tongue Trauma: Jack sees a woman screaming with a mouth full of blood and no tongue during his vision. This is revealed to be Dominique, a snobby celebrity chef who represents taste, who dies when a shard of glass launched into her mouth from an exploding wine bottle, on top of shredding her mouth and throat, cuts off a majority of her tongue.

Death of the Senses / int_dc292b90	comment	Ear Ache: Jack's vision involves seeing a man getting his ear sliced off with a razor. The man in question, Joshua, or "Masta Thug", a rapper who represents hearing, has his ears cut in half when his platinum record is launched at him at high velocity, but it also chops the rest of his head off from the jaw up, so it's likely he hardly even felt any ear pain before dying.

Death of the Senses / int_f178203a	comment	Inspector Javert: Amy's partner on the force, Pete Beriev, spends a majority of his time in the novel hellbent on getting the protagonist Jack locked up after he comes across him after killing the would-be serial killer and he assumes that he was assaulting his partner when he was in fact helping her. The fact that Jack and Amy continue to spend a lot of time getting discernibly close to celebrities dying under bizarre circumstances only adds fuel to Pete's fire.
