The Books Oracle

The Nightmare Man

by J.H. Markert

Blackwood mansion broods atop New Haven, and Ben Bookman—novelist, heir, reluctant inheritor—returns to confront what his family buried there. Markert builds Gothic horror in the register of T. Kingfisher and Cassandra Khaw: the house as organism, legacy as infection, and the fine line between the monstrous and the human steadily eroding.
