The skinned body was found in the woods, just as Rachel--the town medical examiner--was driving out of Tuonela for good, or so she thought. Now her baby will be born here, and the betrayal of Evan Stroud--the man she's always loved, the man who can never see the light of day--will continue to haunt her waking and sleeping hours...Others are coming to Tuonela, drawn to the legend of the Pale Immortal, the so-called vampire whose exhumed body is now on display. And others will die. As Evan succumbs to madness, those around him will suspect the worst of him. But everything he is rumored to be will pale in comparison to the one who has been awakened...Garden of Darkness was originally released by Penguin Putnam and was a RITA finalist.Anne Frasier (a.k.a.

While the story grabbed me, the book's creepy atmosphere made my skin crawl. But what made Frasier's book so compelling was the heart-wrenching love story between Rachel and Evan. The book is layered with rich detail, the subplots nuanced with shadows. Also of note is the smooth way Frasier combined first person and third in the same book, which I felt added texture and another dimension to the story. Garden of Darkness is truly one of the more exceptional books I've read.*Armchair InterviewsI*f you like your dark paranormal with the sinister edge of a suspense thriller and more than a dose of horror, then check out Anne Frasier and her Pale Immortal series.
