Northeastern Legends: The Serpent's Grudge

This novel reveals a mysterious past long buried. When the descendants of snake catchers break out in scales, are the creatures they worship spirits that protect their offspring, or evil spirits come to claim their lives and collect their debts? Through a shrine thick with the scent of mugwort, we uncover the most horrifying rule of survival at a bloodstained offering table: some sins must be repaid, generation after generation, through one's bloodline.
