Fairlight
Two brothers. One woman. One night that would echo for generations.
No one ever reached the old house in the Taneytown woods.
At least, that was the story.
By the time the rumor spread through Westminster, Maryland, it had grown teeth — a crash in the dark, a presence among the trees, something that drove intruders back the way they came. For years, teenagers went looking. None claimed to find it.
Until the spring of 1997.
When four friends follow an old trail into the woods, they uncover the remains of Fairlight, and the story of the family who built it. As Ernest Marlowe recounts the rise of the house in 1857, a portrait emerges of Josephus Marlowe’s steady vision, Hannah’s quiet strength, and a brother whose convictions begin to diverge in ways no one fully sees.
What happened at Fairlight was never proven.
But some fractures do not fade.
And some places remember. A haunting not of spirits, but of consequence, Fairlight is a sweeping, multi-generational novel about inheritance, loyalty, and the quiet choices that echo long after the walls come down.
