INTERCESSIONS: A NOVEL
Some secrets are too dangerous to tell and too dark to keep.
When young Corianne Dempsey and her best friend, Rebecca, are approached by a stranger on their way to school, only one girl makes it home. When Rebecca turns up dead, Corianne’s childhood ends abruptly. Growing up in the long shadow of this event, Corianne is now a conflicted young woman seeking solace in dangerous places. Her hauntingly dark dreams begin crossing into waking life, hinting that the past she remembers may be a lie.
Driven to make sense of what is happening, Corianne returns to the only place she feels solid, the farm that provided an escape all those years ago, and the one person who has never judged or blamed her – the husband of her mother’s best friend.
With his help she begins to let in the darkness she has tried so hard to shut away and learns that truth and healing are even more complicated than she imagined.
What People Are Saying
“Eull’s Intercessions is both a Hitchcockian thriller and the deeply personal journey of a forgotten victim. Grief, trauma, disorientation, stalking are just the tip of the iceberg. A debut novel not to be missed.” — Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of Sleepless City
“Intercessions is an impressive debut that reminds readers just how literary in nature crime fiction can be when it is in the right hands. Eull has created memorable characters here that become more and more realistic as their flaws are exposed over time. All of them are dealing with struggles of their own, and their actions directly reflect those internal struggles. As Eull, reminds us, crime victims are not limited to the obvious ones. The ultimate impact of the crime recounted in Intercessions is staggering.” — Book Chase
“Kathleen Eull’s debut novel had me staying up way past my bedtime! It is definitely a page turner. Her depth of characters and the lingering pain from childhood trauma permeates the entire book. I am hoping that she writes another book again soon!”
— Missy B.
“Kathleen Eull distinguishes herself as an emerging talent in her debut novel Intercessions. Eull’s evocative writing captures the deeper aspects of trauma, memory, and psychological distress in this nuanced portrayal of Corianne, a young woman who struggles to regain her memories and come to terms with the secrets of her past. This gripping psychological thriller explores Cori’s complex relationships and her own unconscious. Secrets are revealed, memories resurface, and things will never be the same.” — Dr. Carmen Kuhling, Psychotherapist and Senior Lecturer of Sociology, University of Limerick, author of The New Age Ethic and the Spirit of Postmodernity
“No doubt this will speak not only to feminists but to all who are aggrieved and horrified as to what those with power do to us.” — Darko Suvin, Emeritus Professor at McGill University and author Disputing the Deluge: 21st Century Writings on Utopia, Narration, Horizons of Survival
“Intercessions is a gripping psychological thriller. Though it is a tale with a serious topic, it is a page turner. And it is beautifully written, so much so that it is hard to believe it is Kathleen’s first book.”
—The Psychologist
