American Gothic

Her name is Fearless.

Her given name is Hattie Jacques.

She hears voices.

She ignored them for most of her life. Everything changed the day her husband died

The voices take her to a ramshackle town in the American desert. Jerusalem Landing is in New Mexico. It is an odd place in a state where odd places abound. Different kinds of Magic collide there. Some years it is peaceful. Some years it is hell on earth. It occurs between October and November. When Scorpio rises

A friend with an ocean in her bedroom. A black woman who was a Voodoo Priestess...

A strange little fellow with catlike eyes who had a passion for coffee. He gave her a book and charged her to guard it. A living book, full of wonderful stories and terrible power...

Strange types come to town. They make no attempt to conceal their interest in the book nor what will happen if she fails to surrender it.

Hattie Jacques is a middle aged woman living alone in a small town in the American Southwest. How hard could it be to frighten her into handing it over?

They don't know Hattie Jacques
