The Dark We Know Authored By Wen-yi Lee

In Wen-yi Lee's haunting young adult debut, Echoes of Slater, the small town of Slater hides a sinister secret beneath its seemingly quiet surface. Isadora Chang, who fled Slater as a teenager to escape the stifling constraints of her repressive hometown and her own burgeoning bisexuality, is forced to return when her abusive father dies. She has come back only to claim her inheritance, but the shadows of her past are not easily left behind.

Upon her return, Isa is confronted by Mason, her last remaining friend, who reveals a chilling truth: their childhood friends were murdered by an evil force that haunts Slater. Mason begs Isa for help to stop this malevolent presence before it claims more victims. As Isa begins to experience unsettling phenomena—mysterious songs carried on the wind and eerie, unfamiliar artwork appearing in her sketchbook—she is drawn back into the town’s dark history.

Echoes of Slater explores themes of trauma, healing, and the enduring strength of friendship as Isa faces the horrifying entity that feeds on the town’s pain and sorrow. Confronting her past and the malevolent force that thrives on the heartbreak of its victims, Isa must summon the courage to confront her fears and claim her right to survive. This lyrical, supernatural mystery offers a gripping and emotional journey into the darkness lurking in the corners of memory and the human soul. 📚❤️
