From acclaimed author of The North Woods and The Sarvàn comes a chilling new tale of folk horror.
 
“Hoover’s best yet… Father strikes a terrifying chord deep in the reader’s psyche—one that will haunt you until long after you flip feverishly to the final page.” –Dirtbag Magazine
 
The year is 1837.
As the freshly minted nation hurtles toward financial collapse, former Marine-turned-gunsmith John Darrow inherits a sprawling estate deep in the wilds of coastal Maine. But the farm carries with it a dark legacy — one of bloodthirsty murder and vile deceit.
Caught between the perils of the wilderness and the madness lurking within his own family, John struggles to keep those he loves safe. Little does he know that something else is haunting the shadows of the night. Something sinister and evil. Something that seeks to take from him that which he holds most dear. When the cards fall, the very survival of his family will demand John to sacrifice his humanity, as his vengeance becomes a battle against the darkness itself.
 
A gripping tale of love, loss, and the lengths one man will go to protect his own.
