The Hawaiian legend of the Night Marchers is featured in a new novel by horror-fantasy writer J. Lincoln Fenn.
She weaves the ghosts of ancient warriors into a story where the main character is sent to Hawaiʻi to collect a rare flower — and ends up on a path to solve a mysterious death.
Fenn grew up on the U.S. East Coast, but later lived on Maui for a decade. HPR talked to her about the book, also titled "The Nightmarchers," and whether she experienced “the unexplained” while living on The Valley Isle.
The book was published through Gallery Books and is available through online booksellers, but Fenn encourages readers to check their local bookstore first.
