Produktbeschreibung
Crescent City, CA is a tiny hamlet nestled in the fog and mists between the vast redwood forest and the Pacific Ocean. When Deputy Sheriff Perd Gorlsen's daughter vanishes from a nearby National Park, neither state nor local authorities can turn up any trace of her. At his wits' end, Perd contacts former paranormal investigator Erzsebet Eszterhas in a last-ditch effort to find his daughter. Haunted by a traumatic event which has left her severely disabled, Erzsebet has spent the past ten years living a quiet and hidden life on the other side of the Golden State, untroubled by the darkness of the outside world. Her uneasy peace shattered by Perd's call, she reluctantly returns to the land of giants and ancient mysteries, where all her troubles began. In her search for the missing child, Erzsebet must confront the ghosts of her own past and the insidious forces lurking in the heart of the Redwood Empire.
Autorenporträt
Thank you for reading. The Land of Giants is a work of fiction, but obviously one which takes place in and alongside real places and events. For more information on the geography, history, and peoples of Crescent City and Del Norte County (truly California's hidden gem), I direct you to the Del Norte Historical Society at 577 H Street, Crescent City, CA 95531. They can be reached online at https://delnortehistory.org/. Much of the research done for this novel was sourced from the essential WPA Guide to California: The Golden State compiled by the Federal Writers' Project in the 1930s. See also Images of America: Crescent City & Del Norte County. Furthermore, for those interested in the beautiful yet endangered Athabaskan language, Tolowa, do yourself a favor and immerse yourself in the work of Loren Me'-lash-ne Bommelyn, son of the late tribal geneologist Eunice Bommelyn, without whom the Tolowa language might have gone extinct. Finally, for those who may not know, this novel is a follow-up to my short-film Erzsabet and the Mystery of Iniquity, which covered the events of Chapter 11. The history of the real Mojave Phone Booth is recorded in Adventures with the Mojave Phone Booth by Godfrey "DOC" Daniels. Erzsabet and the Mystery of Iniquity and my other short films can be accessed via https://colewebbharter.xyz. I'll see you in the trees. - Cole Webb Harter
