Gothic Monsters

The time is 1902. The setting, eastern Oregon. Magic Child, a 15-year-old Native American girl, wanders into the wrong whorehouse looking for the right men. She finds Cameron and Greer, two gunmen taking a timeout from the game after an aborted job in Hawaii. Their violent past doesn't concern Magic Child. She wants them to kill a monster for her, one she says lives in the ice caves under the basement of Miss Hawkline's yellow house, and one she says has killed before. But the more she tells them about the monster, the more her story unravels.

Expecting a life of repetition and drudgery, Artemisia arrives at Voltaire Manor to begin her life as a maid.

Amidst the manor’s lush, seductive atmosphere, something monstrous lurks under the surface, waiting to be unearthed. As Artemisia navigates the treacherous waters of her new home, she becomes entangled in a web of secrets, forbidden desires, and monstrosities from the deep.

As desire consumes them, a dark truth seeps through the cracks in their stolen paradise. A string of unexplained illnesses plagues the village's young women.
