The Vanishing of Venice by Dianah Chorlton is a haunting literary thriller set in one of the world's most iconic cities-teetering on the edge of collapse.As rising waters threaten to swallow Venice, a web of strangers converges: a disillusioned American family, a fractured Australian couple on a second-chance honeymoon, a grieving tourist seeking redemption, and a gondolier with a secret he dares not speak. Amid the crumbling beauty, something darker stirs.When a string of inexplicable murders rocks the city and an ominous religious sect surfaces, the tension between ancient myth and modern catastrophe escalates. A storm is coming-both literal and spiritual-and none who walk the canals will be left untouched.At once a mystery, a meditation on climate crisis, and a gothic descent into madness, The Vanishing of Venice lures readers into the heart of a dying city where beauty, desire, and horror collide.
