Summary

Presented in the first person, the story is a collection of journal entries written by a woman (Jane) whose physician husband (John) has confined her to the upstairs bedroom of a house he has rented for the summer. She is forbidden from working and has to hide her journal from him, so she can recuperate from what he calls a "temporary nervous depression – a slight hysterical tendency," a diagnosis common to women in that period. The windows of the room are barred, and there is a gate across the top of the stairs, allowing her husband to control her access to the rest of the house.

    Ex-Delta Force Davis Holland, now an agent for Customs and Border Protection, has seen it all. But nothing in his experience has prepared him for what he and the local sheriff find one freezing night in the Minnesota woods. 
     
     
      
    Investigating reports of an illegal border crossing, the two men stumble across a blood-drenched scene of mass murder, barely escaping with their lives . . . and a single clue to the mayhem: a small wooden chest placed at the heart of the massacre. Something deadly has entered Holland's territory, crossing the border from nightmare into reality. 
     
     
      
    When news of the atrocity reaches wealthy cryptozoologist Richard Severance, he sends a three-person team north to investigate. Not long ago, the members of that team—Ben McKelvie, Lindsay Clark, and Alex Standingcloud—were nearly killed by a vengeful shapeshifter. Now they are walking wounded, haunted by gruesome memories that make normal life impossible. But there is nothing normal about the horror that awaits in the Northwoods.

    If you enjoy intricate mysteries that span several generations like Netflix's series Dark, then check out The Library today! 
    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“The plot is intricate, while also being easy to follow...The paranormal aspect is well done. While not the central focus, the ghosts offer just enough to give Mark — and readers — something to think about.” — Quiet Fury Reviews 
    In 1934, the body of a beautiful, but poor young woman was found alongside a riverbank near The Depot. Beaten to a pulp, only recognizable by a tattoo on her ankle, and yet, days after the discovery, the story all but disappears. 
    Eighty years later, locals claim The Depot is haunted. But in all the years homicide detective Mark Waters has visited the historic 1800s train station turned restaurant, he's never seen proof. Until now. 
    As he sifts through evidence of a supposed suicide by train, he learns a murder that took place eighty years ago may directly affect his case. 
    Six months after the strange occurrences at The Depot, there's another murder. This time, The Library holds secrets of several murders, and the dead won't rest until the murderer checks out too. 
    Note: The Library (Where Life Checks Out) is a 50k-word follow-up novel to The Depot (When Life and Death Cross Tracks), which is included in this special edition so readers who haven't read The Depot won't miss anything.

    An occult historian’s journey of discovery continues in the second volume of this renowned literary fantasy series by “a deliciously elegant writer” (Kirkus). 
     
    In The Solitudes, John Crowley introduced readers to Pierce Moffett, a scholar whose area of expertise lies beyond the realm of our daily reality: a land of the imagination known as Ægypt. Retreating to the quiet of upstate New York, Moffett discovers the works of Fellows Kraft, an uncanny source of hermetic revelations. Now, in Love & Sleep, Moffett begins to understand the true importance—and power—of his studies. His search for a secret history of the world has brought him to the threshold of a new era . . . one in which magic works and angels speak to humankind. 
     
    John Crowley’s Ægypt Cycle is widely regarded as a masterpiece of fantasy literature. Harold Bloom included both The Solitudes and Love & Sleep in his Western Canon.
