A Ghostly Window Into the Past
Nurse Nellie Lester can’t escape death. Fleeing Chicago at the height of the 1918 Spanish flu, she takes a nursing job at a decrepit mansion on a desolate Michigan island, convinced the island holds the secret to her mother’s murky past. The only problem? Her dead mother seems to have followed her there. Nightly she’s haunted by a ghostly presence that appears in her bedroom. But is it her mother or something more sinister?
When the frozen body of the prior nurse is unearthed, Nellie suspects the nurse’s death and her family’s history are connected to a mysterious group that disappeared from the island twenty-four years earlier.
As winter closes in, and past and present converge, Nellie’s grip on reality loosens. Someone on the island is hell-bent on keeping the mansion’s secrets—someone who wants revenge.

The Darkness Surrounds Us is Gail Lukasik's fifth mystery novel and her first Gothic mystery. Kirkus Reviews praised Gail's mysteries as "riveting, fast-paced and loaded with suspense." Gail's memoir, White Like Her: My Family's Story of Race and Racial Passing, captured national attention and led to her appearance on NBC's The Today Show. The Washington Post named White Like Her one of the most inspiring stories of 2017. Once a member of the Cleveland Civic Ballet Company, she credits her aesthetic sensibility, her stage presence, and her writerly discipline to her training as a classical ballerina.
