A remote research lodge with secrets of its own

Sydney Denik’s opportunity to join a foundation conducting Alzheimer’s research takes her to an isolated lodge on Vancouver Island, where the setting becomes part of the unease: fog-shrouded surroundings, summer snowfall and reports of uncanny activity. As a student disappears and the people around Sydney keep secrets, the story brings together Gothic horror, science fiction and a romantic connection with the lodge’s resident psychologist. The research foundation provides a scientific frame for events that increasingly challenge Sydney’s sense of what is real, while the surrounding forest adds another source of danger.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in Gothic fiction set around an isolated research community.
  • For readers seeking a blend of horror, science fiction and romance.

Book overview

 

Aspiring mycologist Sydney Denik is getting a second chance. When a dream opportunity presents itself with a prestigious foundation doing promising Alzheimer's research, Sydney leaves the shambles of her old life to join a dozen other grad students at an isolated lodge hidden away in a remote, fog-shrouded inlet on Vancouver Island.

 

But the Madrona Foundation harbors more than brilliant minds. Everyone around her is hiding a terrible secret-including the resident psychologist she's falling in love with. A student disappears, and no one but Sydney seems to care. Ghosts walk the halls. Snow falls in the middle of summer. Dead animals move like the living. The more Sydney uncovers about the foundation, the more she begins to question her own sanity. And if Sydney isn't going mad, then the horrors in the surrounding forest are real, and the Madrona Foundation may be the biggest monster of all.

 

 

Darkly sensual, atmospheric, and inventive-New York Times bestseller Karina Halle blends horror and science fiction in a wildly unique psychological thriller.
