The Aftersummer

Set in Barcelona, The Aftersummer follows Benjamin Lazarus, an unwitting attempted suicide haunted by the dybbuk of his deceased grandfather, who stumbles into the crosshairs of an international conspiracy when he is enlisted to piece together the story of Amela K, the abducted widow of a reclusive author. As Lazarus sorts through a mysterious manuscript in order to restore the stolen lands of his employer’s great-great grandmother, burned as a witch in Poland, he becomes embroiled in a Nazi witch program very much interested in preserving its secret. What follows is a surreal odyssey through a vanishing century that is still more than consumed with the specter of its past.
