June Pick

Solace House by Will Maclean

Solace House

Will Maclean

In the Summer of 1993, broke student Alex Lane joins a team clearing out Solace House, a Victorian mansion bequeathed to the university by a reclusive hoarder called Flayne. When the crew begins sorting through piles of junk, they stumble upon Flayne's journals, in which he details his obsession with his missing mother, his discovery of a place called Bewise, and - most mysteriously - his belief in another realm lying parallel to ours, along with coded instructions as to how it might be reached. As the students delve deeper into the house's secrets, one of them becomes obsessed with deciphering Flayne's strange opus and its promise of another world... and they may be willing to sacrifice everything, and everyone, to get there.

We picked this book for its strong narrative voice, its blend of the eerie and the relatable, and its exploration of insanity, obsession, and the allure of the unknown. It's a book that will keep you guessing until the very end, and we can't wait to share it with you.
