Description

Edgar D Jackson ventures into the coming-of-age genre with his new series: The Book Of The Summer.

Told over three seasons, this is a heartfelt tribute to childhood and the journey of growing up — woven with mystery and the supernatural for good measure. 

“We all remember our childhood summers. Daniel Ottoman has spent his life trying to bury his.

It’s June 18th 2073, and a stranger has arrived on Daniel Ottoman’s doorstep. Daniel is eighty years old and lives alone. He wouldn’t call himself sentimental or nostalgic, but on this particular morning, something has changed. He’s not experiencing this summer, he’s remembering another.

The summer of 2004 was a lifetime ago, but for Daniel, the memories are still fresh. He remembers the quaint village of Deanshire, where he grew up. He remembers his friends. He remembers The Ogle House on Baltic Green, and the nightmarish thing that lived inside there…

He remembers. And that’s good, because this stranger wants him to remember too. He wants to know the whole story. What happened, why it happened. With no secrets and no omissions. And he won’t take no for an answer.

The book of the summer must be told, and Daniel Ottoman must be the one to tell it…”

From Edgar D Jackson comes a novel perfect for readers who enjoy coming-of-age stories with a dark edge, small-town mysteries, and nostalgic summer settings.
