The Book Of The Summer is Edgar D Jackson's unique take on the coming-of-age genre, woven with mystery and the supernatural. Three books. Three seasons. The summers of 2004, 2005, and 2006 are recalled by our protagonist, Daniel Ottoman, who has always kept his memories to himself. Until a certain stranger comes to call.
The Book Of The Summer: Season One revolves around the first of those summers, and it will remind you what it's like to be young, carefree, and believing in monsters...
It's June 18th 2073, and a stranger has arrived on Daniel Ottoman's doorstep.
Daniel is eighty years old and lives alone. He wouldn't call himself sentimental or nostalgic, but on this particular morning, something has changed. He's not experiencing this summer, he's remembering another.
The summer of 2004 was a lifetime ago, but for Daniel, the memories are still fresh. He remembers the quaint village of Deanshire, where he grew up. He remembers his friends. He remembers The Ogle House on Baltic Green, and the nightmarish thing that lived inside there...
He remembers. And that's good, because this stranger wants him to remember too. He wants to know the whole story. What happened, why it happened. With no secrets and no omissions. And he won't take no for an answer.
The book of the summer must be told. And Daniel Ottoman must be the one to tell it.
