Feature Fiction || The White by Matt Micheli.

As Ben digs deep into Blackwood’s history he learns he may have triggered a release of something trapped long ago-and it won’t stop with the horrors buried within the pages of his book. He can’t remember much from the night he finished writing the novel, but he knows he wrote it in The Atrium, his grandfather’s forbidden room full of numbered books. As the series of “Scarecrow crimes” continues to mirror the book, Ben quickly becomes the prime suspect. When another family is killed in a similar manner, Mills, along with his daughter, rookie detective Samantha Blue, is determined to find the link to the book-and the killer-before the story reaches its chilling climax. Detective Mills arrives at the scene of a gruesome murder: a family butchered and bundled inside cocoons stitched from corn husks, and hung from the rafters of a barn, eerily mirroring the opening of Bookman’s latest novel. Now, on the eve of the book’s release, the terrible story within begins to unfold in real life. Ben Bookman, bestselling novelist and heir to the Blackwood estate, spent a weekend at the ancestral home to finish writing his latest horror novel, The Scarecrow. Blackwood mansion looms, surrounded by nightmare pines, atop the hill over the small town of New Haven. Kingfisher meets Cassandra Khaw in a chilling horror novel that illustrates the fine line between humanity and monstrosity.
