JONATHAN EDWARD DURHAM was born near Philadelphia where he read voraciously throughout his youth and beyond. After attending William and Mary, where he received a degree in neuroscience while also studying literature, Jonathan waded into the professional world before deciding he was better suited for more artistic pursuits.
He still lives in Pennsylvania with his husband and assorted other animals. There, he writes novels that bridge the wonder of his favorite childhood stories with the thrilling pop sensibilities of his early adult obsessions. He's also an avid humorist on social media where you can find him waxing quipsodic about cheese, and sometimes even the world beyond. The second edition of his debut novel, Winterset Hollow, is coming from Hachette/Union Square this October!
About
ABOUT THE BOOK
Everyone has wanted their favorite book to be real, if only for a moment. To meet their favorite characters, if only for a day. But be careful in that wish, for a history laid in ink can be repaid in flesh and blood, and reality is far deadlier than fiction. Especially on Addington Isle.
Winterset Hollow follows a group of friends to the place that inspired their favorite book—a timeless tale about a tribe of animals preparing for their yearly end-of-summer festival. But after a series of shocking discoveries, they find that much of what the world believes to be fiction is actually fact, and that the truth behind their beloved story is darker and more dangerous than they ever imagined. It’s Barley Day. . . and you’re invited to the hunt.
Winterset Hollow is as thrilling as it is terrifying and as smart as it is surprising. A uniquely original story filled with properly unexpected twists and turns, Winterset Hollow delivers indelible characters and pulse-pounding action as it storms toward an unforgettable climax that will leave you reeling. How do you celebrate Barley Day? You run, friend. You run.
