"Hard to categorize but even harder to put down. Dreamlike...with each element intriguing and beautifully rendered. The soaring writing, dreamy organization, and thematic clarity create a book whose substance far outpaces its brevity." -Kirkus Reviews
This hybrid literary novella braids the story of Susannah North Martin-hanged in 1692 during the Salem witch trials-with the contemporary memoir-in-verse of her descendant as he confronts the long aftermath of religious condemnation and queer erasure.
Follow the serving of Susannah's warrant, her examination, imprisonment, and execution. In intimate, lyrical first-person, her voice is restored, a voice that history tried to silence: a woman who refuses to confess, bow, or surrender her truth-even at the gallows. Interwoven is the perspective of Joseph Ring, a war-haunted neighbor whose fear and fractured memory help fuel the rising hysteria, revealing how private trauma can harden into public accusation.
Parallel chapters trace the modern narrator's experience of being misnamed and judged-outed by rumor, scrutinized by institutions, and shaped by the same moral currents that once condemned his ancestor. These stories expose how fear travels through generations, how communities create scapegoats, and how a single refusal-to falsify oneself-can become an act of survival.
