Now Available!

Released as a limited edition, hand-bound mini book, “Of the Throat” tells the story of Sybil, a third-grade teacher haunted by a former relationship. When her student Enid Hendricks stops showing up to school, Sybil begins finding strange “gifts” left in her classroom: a pair of lacquered chopsticks, a black cat figurine, and sachets of expensive tea. Barry, the school’s truant officer, also receives his own strange “bribes,” each wrapped in paper that is bridal white. Sybil becomes convinced that a paper fortune teller is to blame for Enid’s disappearance—an obsession that forces her to reckon with a fateful prediction a psychic once delivered over soggy tea leaves.
