Surf Mystic

Night of the Book Man あらすじ・解説

Think Lovecraft Country meets Gidget.

Something evil stalks Laguna Beach - and only a young surfer girl named Frannie can stop it.

In 1958 Laguna Beach, California, a girl escapes tragedy by learning to surf with a close-knit group of misfits while spending her nights working at the shady tiki bar Cafe Monstro. But when a powerful demon in disguise targets the cafe in search of the mysterious, future-revealing empty books called Blanks, she must learn her uncle's Jewish mystical secrets to destroy the demon and free her friends. A 1950s thriller of surfing, water ghosts, dybbuk boxes, Yiddish curses, and supernatural romance.

Night of the Book Man is a debut coming of age horror novel and a love letter to California surf culture and the books, art, and music of the mid-century, from "Frankie & Annette" and Gidget to Dragnet and Stephen King's IT
