Inhaltsangabe

Some places aren't lost. They're hidden-waiting to be remembered. Marcus Jefferson is a memory worker-someone gifted with the ability to uncover what the world tries to forget. When he begins drawing houses that no longer exist, he is pulled toward a quiet Southern town where entire neighborhoods have vanished from record and memory. The people who remain do not speak of what was lost. But the land remembers. As Marcus follows the traces of what has been erased, he uncovers a hidden history shaped by displacement, silence, and generational trauma. The deeper he listens, the more dangerous the truth becomes. Because these houses were not abandoned. They were taken. And something is still waiting inside what remains. The Map of Broken Houses is the first book in The Memory Worker Series, an African American cozy horror and Southern gothic series exploring memory, legacy, hidden histories, and the quiet supernatural forces that shape what we remember-and what we try to forget.

Über diesen Titel

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Hi! I'm Albert Scales, an author and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). I am an African American writer who grew up in the inner cities of Essex County, New Jersey, with family roots that trace back to the plantations of the Carolinas. My work is shaped by that history-by the stories carried through generations, the resilience within our communities, and the quiet truths that often go unspoken. I am the creator of the Brave on the Inside children's book series, which features a young Black girl navigating themes of self-confidence, courage, emotional awareness, and finding her voice. These stories are written for children who may feel unseen or uncertain, while also creating space for meaningful conversations between children, parents, and educators. I also write cozy-horror fiction from an African American perspective, blending elements of the supernatural with cultural memory, family history, and community life. My stories focus less on fear and more on atmosphere-exploring how the past lingers, how places hold memory, and how healing can emerge from the truths we inherit. Across all of my work, I center African American experiences with care, intention, and emotional depth-creating stories that are reflective, grounded, and rooted in both history and humanity.
