In addition to his own writings, Carson published two Spiritualist books that he asserted had been received from deceased wife Rose M. Carson, also known as "Rose the Sunlight," each describing her journey through the after-world. The first, in 1908, was entitled Through the Valley of the Shadow and Beyond; the second, in 1911, was Two Years in Heaven.
