The Darkness Surrounds Us is Gail Lukasik’s fifth mystery and her first gothic historical. Publishers Weekly said of the book: “Lukasik delivers a gripping ghost story of pandemics past in this well-crafted gothic mystery. With unpredictable plotting and superior atmospherics, this is an early-autumn treat fit for late-night devouring.” Her bestselling memoir, White Like Her: My Family’s Story of Race and Racial Passing, was named by The Washington Post as one of the most inspiring stories of 2017. The book led to her appearing on The Today Show and the documentary, History of Memory—a Tribeca film award winner. Gail also writes the award-winning Leigh Girard mystery series, which is set in picturesque Door County, Wisconsin. Peak Season for Murder won the Lovey Award for Best Traditional Amateur Sleuth. A consummate presenter, she has made over 100 presentations in a variety of topics.
