"Walking the Dusk is a wonderfully skin-crawling, page-turning blend of Stephen King's IT and Dante's Inferno. Robinson taps into childhood fear and adult understanding for a fantastic descent into madness, loss, and identity." —Peter Clines, New York Times bestselling author of The Broken RoomA 2024 BookLife Prize Semifinalist“Hey.”With that one word, uttered in the dead of night, young Charlie's life veers down a dark and unbelievable road.Some thirty years later, Dr. Charles Barry teaches physics at a small California college.

With her come memories of unearthly creatures, a predatory entity and a harrowing trek behind the walls of the known cosmos, toward places of the alien and seemingly impossible, in order to save the very essence of his sister.Now, caught once more by the same forces, Charles returns to those places in the hopes of setting certain things right—and to keep Megan from slipping away forever.With Walking the Dusk, Mike Robinsondelivers a contemporary Dantean vision, one of both sweepingly surreal vistas and intimate bonds, a mind-and-genre-warping journey into the twin infinities of the universe within, and the universe without.
