    “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.

    Cisco Suarez versus an entire Caribbean drug cartel. Round one. Fight. 
    Okay, not exactly the most even championship match, but it's the one I drew. If you told me months ago I'd be robbing drug dealers, I would've committed you myself. Who needs that kind of trouble, right? 
    The good news is I'm only after one man: Connor Hatch. The bad news is he's the new Pablo Escobar, a primal being, and all but untouchable. 
    It gets worse. He's rounding up the Russian mob for something big, and I'm not the only spellslinger in the picture. They say follow the money or follow the drugs. Maybe I should keep an eye on who's following me. 
    Some problems call for a delicate hand. I don't have those kinds of problems. 
    If you like Jim Butcher, Shayne Silvers, Steve McHugh, or John Conroe, then you are going to love Domino Finn's contribution to the smart-talking MC that's perpetually stuck between a rock and a hard place.

    "We are not fake anythings!" said Lance. 
    "I could debate that with you," said Blake. 
    "Where is the ghost?" Blake said changing the subject. 
    "Now I have a ghost and a grim reaper in my lounge room!" said Lance infuriated. 
    "Grand Reaper? What's that?" the ghost asked. 
    "Another name for a couch potato!" Lance hissed, 
    "Dork why you shouting," said Junior walking in the room. 
    "Oh, he's no bother, he has good taste! Anyone who likes Neighbours is alright with me" Blake said. 
    "You sure this isn't The Munsters!" Blake asked. 
    "I want to watch this!" said the ghost standing up. 
    "Quit it stop using the voice let him watch this!" Blake said. 
    "He is a ghost he shouldn't be watching soapies!" said Lance. 
    "Dork!” snapped Junior in protest.
