The recently published All Things Cease to Appear by Elizabeth Brundage is a dark, riveting, beautifully written book—by “a brilliant novelist,” according to Richard Bausch—that combines noir and the gothic in a story about two families entwined in their own unhappiness, with, at its heart, a gruesome and unsolved murder.
Mario Hugo's simple typographic cover is intriguing. The title's shadowed, white embossed effect gives the impression of fading away while still being easy to read. It gives an air of mystery and makes me want to pick it up to find out more.
All Things Cease to Appear was published by Knopf on March 8, 2016.
