  1. 1. The Great Work

    In the 19th-century Northwest, grieving alchemist Gentle Montgomery and his teenage nephew Kitt set out to track a legendary giant salamander whose blood might power an alchemical formula to revive Gentle’s dead friend. Their journey through a haunted wilderness brings surreal visions and draws the attention of a violent hunter, a corrupt judge, and a doomsday cult, forcing them to confront the creature, the strange dreams it provokes, and the fragile bonds between them. The story blends supernatural horror, alchemy, and a meditation on grief and human connection.
