Synopsis

Autumn, 1947. A detective drives up into the mountains to a coal town called Marrow, to reopen the coldest case in the county: a school bus that vanished twenty-two years ago on a quarter-mile of open road-sixteen children and their driver, gone, with no wreck, no bodies, and no explanation anyone has ever been able to give.

The town receives him kindly. Too kindly. The bell above the diner swings and makes no sound. The falls roar from a distance and fall silent at their foot. The people answer his questions before he asks them, and speak of the dead in a tense that hasn't happened yet.

And the deeper Mercer goes, the more he loses-his senses, one by one; his memory; his certainty that he came here for a case at all.

Because Marrow is not a mystery to be solved. It is a mystery that solves you.

He came to solve it. It came to keep him

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ian Ashcroft writes gothic and cosmic horror with a literary heart. Not the kind that relies on shocks and gore, but the kind that works slowly - stories where the dread comes from what people fail to say to one another, and from the sense that something vast and patient is waiting just past the edge of understanding. He is drawn to the quiet terrors: the things left unsaid, the doors we keep shut to feel safe, the truths we save for a better morning, and the strange places love can be kept when it isn't spoken aloud.
