SAMARA TATE’S BOOK OF SHADOWS

The Twilight City lies between the angles of our perceptions, its urban landscape a divine obscenity reflecting our scrutiny. A place where reality and fantasy are as indistinguishable as the dream from the dreamer. Samara Tate was the speakeasy Nightingale that serenaded the dark spirits of the City. Her voice was more alluring than her looks, and that was saying something, as she was desired by every two-bit gangster and straight-laced chummer in town. She had power, and a light that shone from her spirit like a lantern in the gloom of our lives. Everybody knew that she was untouchable, because, like all things of beauty and power, she ended up belonging to the Nightmare Man. That is, until Mr. Shift came along. There are still parts of the city that haven’t been rebuilt since those bloody days. I bribed my way into her dressing room one night, not long after Mr. Shift’s place burned down, and using the old lipstick stained cigarette butt he’d given me I was able to find a small metal tin hidden in the wall. Her arcane play-lists were there, each song a hidden spell, written on napkins and the back of matchbooks. A brief and chaotic diary scrawled in the margins. This is a literary snapshot of Samara Tate, caught in motion for the briefest of moments, a twilight creature in its element.
