The Jermyn's Forgotten: Names Beneath SpruceA Supernatural Horror Novel by Patsy MarzaniIn Scranton, Pennsylvania, memory is more than history-it's a battleground. Beneath gaslit streets and coal-dusted ledgers, an ancient hunger stirs. It doesn't haunt-it rewrites. Her name is Mara, and she feeds when names are forgotten. Norah Ruth Merrin never wanted the scar, the ledger, or the legacy. But when a mirror doesn't reflect her back, she's pulled into a spiral of rituals, blood-bound vows, and generations of women who defied silence.
From 1755 to 2025, Keepers like Tala, Brisa, Ruth, and Norah bind names to starve the spiral-and carry the names others buried. As Scranton's ghosts rise-miners erased by floods, children lost in smoke, women devoured by forgetfulness-Norah must choose: bind the memory or let Mara feed. A haunting blend of Appalachian Gothic, feminist horror, and coal-seamed folklore, The Jermyn's Forgotten is a generational reckoning with silence, legacy, and the names we dare to remember.
Speak a name ? She sees. Write a name ? She binds. Forget a name ? She feeds.
