Noah Turner sees monsters.
His father saw them&;and built a shrine to them with The Wandering Dark, an immersive horror experience that the whole family operates.
His practical mother has caught glimpses of terrors but refuses to believe&;too focused on keeping the family from falling apart.
And his eldest sister, the dramatic and vulnerable Sydney, won't admit to seeing anything but the beckoning glow of the spotlight . . . until it swallows her up.
Noah Turner sees monsters. But, unlike his family, Noah chooses to let them in . . .
Stunning debut! Hamill builds a true Lovecraftian nightmare world, but so much more. Spanning nearly fifty years, the intimate history of the Turner family unfolds through successive tragedies. This cursed family is inextricably linked to some macabre other world. The creepy atmosphere builds as we slowly learn the truth. The characters are rich and compelling, and Hamill expertly wraps it all up in the end. The beautiful, touching conclusion brought tears to my eyes. Looking forward to more from this author.
