Synopsis

An incisive reflection on identity and wealth, and a refreshing racial queer story of survival
		 
All Things Seen and Unseen follows Alex Nguyen, an isolated, chronically ill university student in her early 20s. After a suicide attempt and subsequent lengthy hospitalization, she finds herself without a job, kicked out of campus housing, unable to afford school, and still struggling in the aftermath of a relationship’s dissolution. Hope comes in the form of a rich high school friend who offers Alex a job housesitting at her family’s empty summer mansion on a gulf island.
		 
Surrounded by dense forest and ocean, in the increasingly oppressive heat of a 2010s summer, Alex must try to survive as an outsider in a remote, insular community; to navigate the awkward, unexpected beginnings of a possible new romance; and to live through the trauma she has repressed to survive, even as the memories — and a series of increasingly unnerving events — threaten to pull her back under the surface.

    It took me less than ten minutes to see that something was wrong. Honestly, I think if it hadn't been for all the tears and the emotion of the occasion I probably would have figured it out quicker. It had always been like that with me and Donny. We used to joke about it sometimes. I‘d ask if he was okay and he’d say he was ‘fine,’ to which I’d always respond, “Well you should probably tell your frown.” Donny could never keep a secret. Even from his own face.As it was, the shock and the joy of Donny coming home, of him actually, really, physically being home turned my spider sense for his feelings off for a while. Still, even then, it didn't take me long.We had been sitting, my mom, my dad, and me at Angie’s, a diner in town that had always been my mom’s favorite and had literally been open since she was a kid. We had tried to convince her to go to a fancy restaurant for her birthday, to maybe take a vacation and spend a few days in some little getaway far from town, but she wouldn’t hear of it. She liked to keep things simple. She liked Angie’s and she liked home. All she really wanted for her birthday was ‘a quiet meal with her family around her.’

    "Why are you here it is not respectful to the dead or family and friends, Mortimer, you can't be here," said the deadman's best friend to a grim reaper who he knew was the soul of the deadman. 
    "It's my party I can be here, Mass," said the drunk reaper. 
    "You're drunk, you shouldn't come in," said Max Starfire. 
    "I'm not drunk! I didn't know you had a twin?" said the reaper looking at an invisible nonexistent man induced by drink. 
    "I don't I'm an only child," said Max nervously as the reaper pushed passed him. 
    Mortimer sat with his widow she knew who he was it was awkward.  
    "We are here to celebrate the life of the dearly departed Blake Alexander," said the Reverand in charge of the funeral who looked at the wailing reaper with suspicion.

    When Parker and her mother move into Styre House, they immediately notice that something's not quite right. They have no key for the garage, and any time they try to get inside they end up distracted. A mysterious black cat patrols the property, seemingly waiting for something or someone. And strange noises at night hint at a hidden presence that lurks in the shadows. 
     
    Soon, Parker discovers that Styre House has many mysteries. As she gets to know a local historian from the nearby village, she starts to uncover a horrifying web of lies, secrets and deaths, all connected to someone who lived in the house more than a century earlier. But is the past willing to stay buried, or is there some truth to the rumors of ghostly encounters and witchcraft? 
     
    The Haunting of Styre House is the first audiobook in a trilogy about a remote, abandoned English cottage that still bears the scars of its terrifying past. Who is Smythe, where does he come from, and how far is he willing to go in order to protect the legacy of his mistress? This book ends on a cliffhanger.
