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
