Summary

In "The Abandoned Room," Wadsworth Camp masterfully weaves a narrative steeped in psychological tension and existential dread. Set against the backdrop of a deserted estate, the novel unravels the harrowing experiences of its protagonist, who encounters apparitions of the past woven with enigmatic symbols that speak to the human condition. Camp's literary style is distinctive for its atmospheric detail and a nuanced exploration of isolation, reflecting the themes prominent in early 20th-century literature, often echoing the gothic sensibilities that question reality and the nature of fear. Wadsworth Camp, an author who straddles the realms of fiction and drama, draws upon his own varied experiences in theater and literature to craft this unsettling tale. His passion for the macabre and the psychological complexities of the human spirit, likely influenced by the literary movements of his time and the works of contemporaries engaged with similar themes, permeate this novel, illustrating Camp's understanding of character-driven storytelling. This book is a must-read for enthusiasts of atmospheric fiction and those intrigued by the interplay of memory and reality. Camp's exploration of isolation, alongside masterful prose, invites readers into a haunting yet exhilarating journey through the shadows of the mind.

    Janzen Robinson is no longer a man torn between two worlds, having decided to come off the bench and dive head first into Cleveland's magical underworld. With his new partner and perpetually exhausted friend Grove, he's just starting to get a handle on all the supernatural happenings when disaster shows up at their doorstep. 
     
     
     
    Gale stands accused of disrupting the Balance, and Janzen finds himself abruptly tasked with finding out who's behind the accusation. It's a charge as serious as it is vague, at least to Janzen, but that doesn't stop the two governing bodies of the In-Between from showing up in his hometown and unleashing a Blind Judge to exact justice. 
     
     
     
    The House of Unet and the Tribe of Masarou don't share Janzen's sense of humor, nor do they have anything in the way of patience or lenience when it comes to dealing with infractions of their laws. 
     
     
     
    Now with a wanted fugitive hiding in their makeshift headquarters and the entire magic community painting a target on his back, Janzen and Grove must step outside their normal alliances for help while attempting to stay ahead of the brutal enforcers hot on their trail in their attempt to get to the bottom of who it was that framed Gale . . .

    Becoming a widow on my fortieth birthday was not what I had planned. Even worse? It's forced me and my teenage daughter back to Whispering Willows and the life of magic I left behind.
