Set amidst the wild palms of 1790s New Orleans, the widow St. Vincent appears in the wake of her husband's death the wealthiest plantation owner in the South. But strange occurrences ensue in her wake and the town becomes obsessed with their superstitions about her. As they attempt to unravel the widow's secrets, we find she knows something of their secrets as well and the philosophical underpinnings of their pasts all surface to haunt them all.

Written in the style of 19th-century Gothic novels such as The Count of Monte Cristo, Dracula, The Picture of Dorian Gray, and Phantom of the Opera, and featuring a lush atmospheric setting with a mysterious female lead, Obscurity reads like a wandering through apothecary shelves, each step more haunting and mercurial than the last.

This novel was first serialized on my blog before being turned into a hardcover (very) first edition for paid subscribers. This is the first time it is available as an e-book or paperback edition, with a new cover illustration by Emiliano Raspante and design by Patricia Faggi.

Only a limited number are available on Metalabel. The rest are published directly by Elysian Press at https://elysian.press/shop/obscurity
