The Face in the Marsh

By (author): Elizabeth Hirst

Kenzie is twenty-five, with two degrees and no job prospects. When her parents offer her a job curating their museum, Ettenby’s Log Palace, she accepts out of desperation, despite their history of family conflict. She arrives in the small Ontario town praying that her secrets will stay buried, and her hard-won mental health won’t relapse. Once at the Log Palace, Kenzie is fascinated by an unsettling collection of junk dolls found on the property. As she follows the thread left by the collection, she discovers a history of poltergeist activity, witchcraft and death on the small island housing the museum.

AUTHOR

Elizabeth Hirst

When she was a small child, Elizabeth Hirst’s school principal had to give her an award to get her to stop making books and focus on literally anything else. Her focus has improved since, expanding to punk rock, animation and the textile arts, but she still produces a disturbing number of books, such as The Face in the Marsh and Distant Early Warning, and short stories which have appeared in A Quiet Afternoon I and II and Halldark Holidays. She has been described as cheeky, highly intractable, exceedingly stubborn and as Canadian as saying sorry.
