Synopsis
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.
