Pre-Order The Professor of Eventide Here
Perfect for readers of The Secret History and Ninth House. A Gothic literary mystery that explores the thin line between intellectual obsession and madness.
At Eventide College, the past is never buried—it is exhaled through the ivy and etched into the stone.
Professor Jonathan Ferrars lives in the shadows of academia, a man tethered to a history he cannot outrun and a present he must make peace with. The sanctity of the autumn term is shattered when three of his students are found murdered in a manner that feels less like a crime and more like a ritual.
As the police circle and the college’s halls begin to close in, Jonathan realizes the deaths are part of a meticulously crafted architecture of guilt—one designed to make him the centerpiece of its tragedy. To preserve his sanity and his freedom, Jonathan must untangle the rot at the heart of Eventide College before the darkness he’s spent a lifetime avoiding finally claims him. A story of isolation, the seduction of narrative, and the ghosts we carry with us.
The Endurance of Love in the Shadows of the Salem Witch Trials
“Her Dear & Loving Husband by Meredith Allard is an enthralling novel that threatens to mesmerise. The compelling narrative weaves together a setting that many know the name of, but not necessarily the specific events that made it so infamous. Allard has penned a captivating novel of the mystic nature in the town of Salem and how the love between two souls can prevail over the passing of time and anything that may impede them. I Highly Recommend. 5 stars.” —The Coffee Pot Book Club
