Landscape paintings, trompe l'oeil quilts, decorated dolls, mixed-media assemblages, and more, all featuring the same peculiar hue, a shifting pigment somewhere between purple and pink, the color of the saltmarsh orchid, a rare and indigenous flower.</p><p>Graduate student Xavier Wentworth has been drawn to Shimmer, hoping to study the work of artists like quilter Hazel Whitby and landscape painter Shadrach Grayson in detail, having experienced something akin to an epiphany when viewing a Hazel Whitby tapestry as a child. Xavier will find that others, too, have been drawn to Shimmer, called by something more than art, something in the marsh itself, a mysterious, spectral hue.</p><p>From Lambda Literary Award-nominated author Craig Laurance Gidney (<em>Sea, Swallow Me & Other Stories</em>, <em>Skin Deep Magic</em>) comes <em>A Spectral Hue</em>, a novel of art, obsession, and the ghosts that haunt us all.</p>
