Sinopse

Shrouded in the mists of the Oregon coast, the town of Aisling whispers of secrets as old as the whispering pines themselves.  When Clara Hayes inherits her estranged aunt's Victorian estate—a gothic relic at the end of a neglected lane—she hopes it will be a sanctuary, a place to mend the growing rift between her and her teenage son, David, after the sudden death of her husband.  But the house offers no solace, only shadows and echoes of a hidden history.With every renovation, Clara unearths not just dust, but fragments of a dark legacy.  A brittle map, hidden within a dusty trunk, sparks a desperate search for a vanished barn, a structure consumed by a mysterious fire decades ago, a fire that coincided with the disappearance of several Aisling residents and her aunt's enigmatic demise. While Clara seeks answers, David is drawn to the unsettling stillness of the surrounding woods, his silence mirroring his mother's unspoken fears.The Orrs, whose property borders the estate, watch Clara’s every move. Andrew Orr, the family patriarch, radiates a quiet menace, while his son, Justin, a troubled artist, finds solace in David's quiet pain. A fragile friendship blossoms in the shadows of their shared burdens, but the Orrs' secrets run deeper than Clara could ever imagine.At the local library, Clara finds an unlikely ally in Kathleen Castillo, a descendant of one of the missing. Together they unravel a history steeped in darkness, revealing Clara’s aunt not as a victim, but as a guardian, tasked with containing a terrifying power bound to the land.As Clara delves deeper, the whispers turn to screams. The house reveals its secrets: hidden passages, cryptic symbols, and a locked diary filled with desperate scrawls.  Anonymous threats escalate to terrifying manifestations. The idyllic sanctuary becomes a claustrophobic prison.  Then, David vanishes into the whispering woods, swallowed by the very force Clara seeks to understand.Clara’s search for her son becomes a desperate race against time. Guided by her aunt’s cryptic instructions and her own burgeoning connection to the land’s power, Clara must confront a terrifying truth: to save David, she must embrace the very force that threatens to consume him.  She must choose between succumbing to an ancient evil or wielding its power, a power she never knew she possessed.  The truth, when it finally emerges, will shatter everything.

    These are not stories with 'happily ever after' endings. Most were accounts and recalls from family, friends and my former patients. A number of stories may have been left open ended with no explanation, as had been shared in that manner. 
      
    Of note this book has already been translated to Japanese, Tagalog and Vietnamese.

    Meet Samantha Beck and Rebecca Nisha—two women born twenty-five years and hundreds of miles apart, yet joined together by a shocking family ritual. When Samantha discovers the remains of an ancient tribe in Pennsylvania, she expects to at last prove her grandmother’s Native American ancestry and to make a name for herself as a budding archaeologist. She does not expect to make an enemy and a lover of a fellow descendant—son of Rebecca Nisha—who unwittingly wears a necklace made of his dead mother’s bones. As the novel unfolds, alternating between Samantha’s story and Rebecca’s twenty-five years before, Samantha becomes more and more determined to discover the devastating mystery that estranged Rebecca’s wealthy Pennsylvania Dutch father from her half-Native American son. Samantha gradually uncovers a troubling secret and decides to risk everything—love and career—to restore harmony to Rebecca’s family.

    “This impressively bleak vision of the near future is as grotesquely amusing as it is grim.” — Publishers Weekly STARRED REVIEW
    		 
     “A gripping tour-de-force torn from tomorrow’s headlines.” — David Demchuk, author of Red X and The Bone Mother
    		 
    “A bold dystopian novel that captivates with its dread and depth. The Marigold is unhinged literary horror that goes right to the source of decay.” — Iain Reid, award-winning author of I’m Thinking of Ending Things, Foe, and We Spread
    		 
    In a near-future Toronto buffeted by environmental chaos and unfettered development, an unsettling new lifeform begins to grow beneath the surface, feeding off the past.
    		 
    The Marigold, a gleaming Toronto condo tower, sits a half-empty promise: a stack of scuffed rental suites and undelivered amenities that crumbles around its residents as a mysterious sludge spreads slowly through it. Public health inspector Cathy Jin investigates this toxic mold as it infests the city’s infrastructure, rotting it from within, while Sam “Soda” Dalipagic stumbles on a dangerous cache of data while cruising the streets in his Camry, waiting for his next rideshare alert. On the outskirts of downtown, 13-year-old Henrietta Brakes chases a friend deep underground after he’s snatched into a sinkhole by a creature from below.
    		 
    All the while, construction of the city’s newest luxury tower, Marigold II, has stalled. Stanley Marigold, the struggling son of the legendary developer behind this project, decides he must tap into a hidden reserve of old power to make his dream a reality — one with a human cost.
    		 
    Weaving together disparate storylines and tapping into the realms of body horror, urban dystopia, and ecofiction, The Marigold explores the precarity of community and the fragile designs that bind us together.
