Modern Meets Ancient. Tropical Paradise Meets Paranormal Terror.In the year 620, a young Polynesian man named Kaimi arrives on the virgin shores of Hawaii. He is among the first people there, though quickly realizes they aren't alone. Strange company watches on from the trees and shorelines: elemental beings only Kaimi can perceive. Like the dark presence in one particular bay, in the verdant island that will become Kauai.Fifteen-hundred years later, a Mormon mother named Marilyn Toomey-secretly harboring her own sensitivity to such beings-finds herself whisked away with her husband to the remote Huna'ia Resort on Kauai. Though hesitant, Marilyn feels compelled to go-if only because something seems to be calling her there.As their lives drift closer across the centuries, and as they come to fully embrace their talents, Kaimi and Marilyn must pull away from their communities and former beliefs in the face of an empowered and malevolent entity-and the looming threat of utter catastrophe.A thoughtful and beautiful eco-fantasy, Ancient Tides Ashore explores human kinship across time, culture and belief, as well as our relationship to the unknown within-and among-us.

"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. Only in dreams do those childhood events reach him: the strange presence in the house, the otherworldly visits and the shadow over his beloved older sister, Megan, whose troubled inward life he could only glimpse. That is, until his father dies, and Megan, now an artistic wanderer, comes back into his life. With her come memories of unearthly creatures, a predatory entity, and a harrowing trek behind the walls of the known cosmos 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 Robinson delivers 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.¿"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 Room
