Allison Gunn with Andrew Joseph White

Join us at Four Seasons Books on Sunday, March 23, beginning at 3 PM to celebrate the release of Allison Gunn’s chilling debut novel, Nowhere! Allison will be in conversation with acclaimed horror author Andrew Joseph White, author of Compound Fracture, for an afternoon of riveting discussion about storytelling, Appalachian folklore, and the dark side of small-town life.

Copies of Nowhere and Compound Fracture will be available for purchase and signing in addition to refreshments! Come party with us! 

Nowhere is a spellbinding blend of Mare of Easttown and The Outsider—a haunting family saga wrapped in spine-tingling horror. Set in a small, tightknit Virginia town with a dark secret, the story follows Police Chief Rachel Kennan as she struggles to hold her family together after a tragic loss while investigating a string of disappearances that have rocked her religious community. As an ominous force in the forest begins to call to the children of the town, Rachel and her family must face the dangers within their community—and within themselves—before it’s too late. With chilling Appalachian folklore, emotionally charged family drama, and atmospheric horror, Nowhere is a gripping debut that asks: what do we bury in our hearts, and what happens when it comes to the surface?

PREORDER THE BOOK

*SIGNED* Nowhere by Allison Gunn

$30.00

Mare of Easttown meets The Outsider in this spine-tingling and twisty debut about a series of disappearances in a small, fundamentalist town and what one broken family must do to remain together as dark forces close in.

After losing her young son in an accident, Rachel Kennan throws herself into her career as police chief of a small Virginia town to avoid focusing on her grief. Meanwhile, her husband, Finn, a washed-up writer whose alcoholism led to the devastating tragedy that changed everything, struggles to redeem himself before his family completely falls apart. Their two daughters are the only things keeping Rachel and Finn together, but the girls have demons of their own. At the same time, a disturbing crime rocks their tightknit, religious community, sending Rachel chasing leads in a place that does not take kindly to outsiders. When an ominous force in the forest starts calling to the children, fear spawns hate among the townspeople, placing the Kennan family directly in the line of fire. Left with no choice but to rely on each other, Rachel and Finn must come together to face threats inside and out. A haunting family saga and a disquieting horror debut, Nowhere draws from Appalachian folklore to caution us that true terror is what we bury in our own hearts.
