The Professor of Eventide by Meredith Allard

“A deep fatigue tormented me, a mournful, soul-crushing exhaustion I hadn’t felt in some time. You can only carry the burden of sorrow for so long before it overwhelms you. Like the moon, I have weaved in and out of phases of my life. Sometimes I was in control. More often, I was not.” The novel, The Professor of Eventide, by Meredith Allard, drops you into the eerie, cultivated atmosphere of Eventide College. We follow Jonathan Ferrars, a new professor navigating a world where academic ambition and the supernatural start to bleed together. Between a sudden murder and mounting psychological pressure, Ferrars’s term quickly spirals into a mix of Gothic tension and existential dread. The story is a modern nod to Poe, blending melancholy and suspense as Ferrars’s fears intensify with the ever-gnawing sense of being watched.
