A Recommended Book from CrimeReads and Alma

From
Nebula Award winner Sam J. Miller comes a frightening and uncanny ghost story
about a rapidly changing city in upstate New York and the mysterious forces
that threaten it.

Ronan
Szepessy promised himself he’d never return to Hudson. The sleepy upstate town
was no place for a restless gay photographer. But his father is ill and New
York City’s distractions have become too much for him. He hopes that a quick
visit will help him recharge. 

Ronan
reconnects with two friends from high school: Dom, his first love, and Dom’s
wife, Attalah. The three former misfits mourn what their town has
become—overrun by gentrifiers and corporate interests. With friends and
neighbors getting evicted en masse and a mayoral election coming up, Ronan and
Attalah craft a plan to rattle the newcomers and expose their true motives. But
in doing so, they unleash something far more mysterious and uncontainable. 

Hudson
has a rich, proud history and, it turns out, the real-state developers aren’t
the only forces threatening its well-being: the spirits undergirding this once-thriving
industrial town are enraged. Ronan’s hijinks have overlapped with a bubbling up
of hate and violence among friends and neighbors, and everything is spiraling
out of control. Ronan must summon the very best of himself to shed his own
demons and save the city he once loathed.
