The Ballad of Black Tom

In New York City, at the height of the Harlem Renaissance, Charles Thomas Tester hustles to put food on the table and keep a roof over his father's head.

He knows what magic a suit can cast, the invisibility a guitar case can provide, and the glamour written on his skin that attracts the eye of wealthy white folks and their cops.

But when he delivers an occult tome to a reclusive sorceress in the heart of Queens, Tom opens a door to a deeper realm of magic and earns the attention of things best left alone. There is something ancient and hungry that sleeps just on the other side of reality and must never be woken.

A tempest that might swallow the world is building in Brooklyn, and Black Tom is trapped in the eye of the storm. Will he live to see it break?
