These Dark and Endless Nights
The darkness is calling … and only she can answer it.
Vera Byrne is no stranger to living with different horrors in her life. Having suffered from sleep paralysis since she was a child and now fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome at twenty-nine, Vera is trying to navigate a different life than she had ever imagined for herself. Alongside her wife, Jude, and their eccentric sphynx cat, Winchester, Vera starts to see a future in which she will be okay, learning to live with the darkness that plagues her.
A year after Vera and Jude’s wedding, Vera’s little brother, Enzo, plans a camping trip for his girlfriend and him before going to college in the fall. Since they were little, it has been Byrne tradition to camp at Cedarwood Park in Northern Ontario, but neither Vera nor Enzo has been back since their father passed away. When Vera receives the call that her little brother is missing, her reality, and everything she thought she knew about it is torn apart. A startling secret is revealed, and suddenly, the darkness is back.
Now, four years later, Vera receives an email from a local author, asking to meet with her. With her curiosity piqued, Vera agrees. Meeting Mia Walsh, Vera is offered something she didn’t know she needed—a chance to tell her side of the story of what actually happened four summers ago.
Reliving the events of that summer, Vera transports Mia to a world where the impossible happens and where living nightmares are very real.
Bestselling author Mallory McCartney’s first horror novel, These Dark and Endless Nights, is a story that carves a unique realm of horrors, in which the bonds of family, love, and survival are tested.
