Overview

Chattanooga, late 1950s, a city in the midst of adapting to the death of train transport and their new controversial resident, academic Charlie Wright. The daughter of two prominent academics, Charlie Wright was an anthropologist that challenged the persuasive propaganda of women as housewives and wrote prolifically on varying culture's mythical practices. Her book Magic & Myth would be her last published work and was dramatically different from her previous academic papers. In it, Wright chooses an autobiographical format to detail an unconventional hypothesis: What historically many cultures have understood to be magic is merely many complex phenomenons utilizing a science we have not yet begun to understand. Magic and Myth is a fictional autobiography by Charlie Wright which focuses on her experiences with a strange sect of individuals who lead her on a journey that shatters her understanding of myth and reality. Corpse Candle is the first volume of this journey and brings the reader along on an adventure with an unreliable narrator while also learning through the annotations of Dr. Finster Dayton about actual culture's mythologies. The mysterious disappearance of Charlie Wright only further adds to the questions you will find yourself asking. Is magic real or did Wright truly succumb to lunacy, you decide.
