"Marino has a good eye for genuinely disturbing imagery. This novel
hums with a terrifying momentum." - Kirkus The Larkin siblings are
known around the small town of Wofford Falls. Both are artists, but
Peter Larkin, Lark to his friends, is the hometown hero. The one
who went to the big city and got famous, then came back and settled
down. He's the kind of guy who becomes fast friends with almost
anyone. His sister Betsy on the other hand is more... eccentric.
She keeps to herself. When Lark goes to deliver one of his latest
pieces to a fabulously rich buyer, it seems like a regular
transaction. Even being met at the gate of the sprawling, secluded
estate by an intimidating security guard seems normal. Until the
guard plays him a live feed: Betsy being abducted in real time.
Lark is informed that she's safe for now, but her well-being is
entirely in his hands. He's given a book. Do what the book says,
and Betsy will go free. It seems simple enough. But as Lark begins
to read he realizes: the book might be demonic. Its writer may be
unhinged. His sister's captors are almost certainly not what they
seem. And his town and those within it are... changing. And the
only way out is through. "Marino offers horrors both existential
and visceral." - M. R. Carey, author of The Girl with All the
Gifts, on The Seven Visitations of Sydney Burgess "Dark and
fascinating . . . Not quite like anything I've ever read before. A
strange, compelling, late-night page-turner. It kept me reading way
past my bedtime." -T. Kingfisher, author of The Hollow Places?, on

kids at the center of the plot to kill Adolf Hitler. Berlin,
November 1943. With bombing raids commencing, the city is blanketed
by explosions. Siblings Gerta and Max Hoffmann live a surprisingly
carefree childhood amid the raids. Berlin is a city going about its
business, even as it's attacked almost nightly. But one night, the
air raid sirens wail, and the Hoffmanns' neighborhood is hit. A
mortally wounded man comes to their door, begging to be let in. He
asks for Karl Hoffmann, their father. Gerta and Max watch as Karl
tries in vain to save the man's life. Before he dies, the stranger
gives their father a bloodstained packet of documents, along with a
message: "For the sake of humanity, the Fuhrer must die. Finish it,
Karl!" Based on real events, this is the story of two children
swept up in a fight for the soul of Germany -- and the world.

Possession is an addiction. Sydney's spent years burying her past
and building a better life for herself and her young son. A
respectable marketing job, a house with reclaimed and sustainable
furniture, and a boyfriend who loves her son and accepts her, flaws
and all. But when she opens her front door, and a masked intruder
knocks her briefly unconscious, everything begins to unravel. She
wakes in the hospital and tells a harrowing story of escape. Of
dashing out a broken window. Of running into her neighbors' yard
and calling the police. The cops tell her a different story.
Because the intruder is now lying dead in her guest room-murdered
in a way that looks intimately personal. Sydney can't remember
killing the man. No one believes her. Back home, as horrific
memories surface, an unnatural darkness begins whispering in her
ear. Urging her back to old addictions and a past she's buried to
build a better life for herself and her son. As Sydney searches for
truth among the wreckage of a past that won't stay buried for long,
the unquiet darkness begins to grow. To change into something
unimaginable. To reveal terrible cravings of its own.
