NovelsÂ
Mother Marrow, the first full-length novel set in the Hallowtide Universe, follows the citizens of New Keslem caught in the grip of a mysterious blight that rots their livestock from the inside out and withers their crops in the fields. Pushed to the brink by hunger, the villagers whisper of dark forces at work and turn on their neighbors. Into this powder keg are thrust a young woman caught between her fairytale youth and grim reality, a would-be scholar schooled in everything but human cruelty, and a broken farmer who may hold the key to a ruinous salvation.Â
​Mother Marrow combines folk horror, dark fantasy, and cosmic threat into a narrative that explores the meaning of community and the madness of love.Â
