Jonathan Brandt is a young, nineteenth century attorney who, on the occasion of his 22nd birthday, receives the oddest sort of gift from his friend, Edgar Allan Poe. As part of the gift, Poe convinces him to defend a woman and her two grown children who were arrested for practicing witchcraft. However, unbeknownst to Jonathan, their trial will be held in an old Puritan town that has somehow fallen out of tie, and the verdict of the case will determine the fate of many more than just the three souls on trial. Navigating as a stranger in an even stranger land, Jonathan must piece together the truth of the most bizarre case of his career.

A Masterfully Dark Adventure
"Luring readers into a carefully crafted tale of supernatural mystery, author James McKenna delivers a profoundly puckish novel in An October’s Journey. McKenna manages to pull off this storytelling feat with surprising grace, due in part to his marvelous creativity and ability to summon vivid images in the mind’s eye of a reader. This transportive magic is owed to the author’s magnificent mastery of language, which immerses readers in the mood and cadence of a distant, more elegant era from the very first page, resulting in a sprawling, mind-bending, and deliciously ominous novel." Self-Publishing Review, ★★★★★
