The Ballad of Black Tom

The Ballad of Black Tom

Victor LaValle
Dark Fantasy, Horror

In New York, magic feels just out of reach—but Charles Thomas Tester knows it’s real, and it’s dangerous.

Hustling through Harlem to keep his father’s roof intact, Tom uses street smarts and a sharp suit to navigate a world where power comes at a price. But his life changes when he delivers an occult tome to a mysterious sorceress in Queens, unknowingly awakening a dark force.

Now, a terrifying storm is brewing in Brooklyn, threatening to consume everything. As ancient, otherworldly powers stir, Tom finds himself entangled in a nightmare that could tear the city apart.

Can he escape the clutches of this hidden magic, or will he be consumed by the chaos he’s unleashed?
