Matthew Heiti Brothers Milo and Woe—gifted with strange psychic abilities—must confront the malevolent force threatening to consume their once idyllic neighbourhood of Kinder Hill. Children are disappearing and they can help. Fast forward to 2019, Miller Hackney—a failed writer and failing member of the human race—abandons his final novel to chase a faceless child in a green raincoat through the alleys and subway tunnels of Toronto. These two stories, seemingly worlds and decades apart, are drawn inexorably to a collision at the bottom of all labyrinths. Blending the nostalgic adventure of The Goonies with the psychological suspense of Daphne du Maurier’s Don’t Look Now, One Soft Infested Summer is an epic story about found families, the horror of loss, and the redemptive magic of storytelling.
