Description
The absentmindedness. The nonsensical ramblings. The blank stares. Ward Ayers, physically
disabled and confined to his Jersey Shore home, can only watch in dismay as his beloved wife
Malina slips further and further into dementia.
But when Ward catches a glimpse of a strange appendage in place of Malina's tongue, he fears
the woman he's loved for half a century isn't succumbing to Alzheimer's but transforming into
something...not quite human. As he tries to make sense of his wife's disturbing changes, he
starts wondering if he's the one losing his mind.
Until, finally, Ward uncovers the dark force behind Malina's decline and must plumb the depths
of sacrifice and selfishness to reclaim his wife and preserve humanity's future.
"Carried along on a dive to terrifying depths where nothing is quite as it seems, MALINAE has
everything we could hope for from a story: suspense, horror, sex, and biting humor."
-JoAnn Chaney, author of WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW and AS LONG AS WE BOTH SHALL
LIVE
"Haunting, harrowing, and beautiful, MALINAE is one of those books that sticks with you long
after the last chapter. A seaside tale of love and terror, the sunset years have never been more
frightening or visceral than in Josh Schlossberg's deft hands."
-Matthew Lyons, author of THE NIGHT WILL FIND US
"Fast paced and compelling, MALINAE is a cautionary tale about the dangers of negativity in an
already tumultuous world. At its core it's a love story, surrounded by unspeakable horror."
-Claire L. Fishback, author of THE BLOOD OF SEVEN
"MALINAE is a thought provoking and horrific ride, one that will reverberate in your memory
long after you turn the last page."
-Gary Robbe, educator and horror writer
