Synopsis

True Grit meets Twin Peaks in this genre-bending debut novel by Chase Dearinger. This New Dark explores the haunted, broken hills of eastern Oklahoma, where over the course of just two cold days in November, the residents of Seven Suns will each face their own kind of weird. There's Wyatt, a dope-growing Muscogee whose obsession with a black cougar that shouldn't exist begins to uproot his life. The teenager who lives with him-Randy-is outraged at the world, confused about his sexuality, and haunted by the bones of his mother. And there's Esther-a dutiful, God-fearing court bailiff who finds herself thrust into the position of county sheriff, forced to find the missing girl whose disappearance sets everything in motion. Inexorably bringing them all together is a nameless cowboy junky who may or may not be some ancient shape-shifting evil. All of them must overcome this new dark while dealing with the violent undercurrents of family, religion, addiction, and death.
