She is viewed as a witch and scorned by society because she is different. The very fact that Moore is demonized for her “dark powers” and hated for her Blackness unpacks the greater significance of this story. However, she discovers that Bethel is its own source of mediocrity, and if change doesn’t occur, its shortcomings are set to doom everyone. In the lands of Bethel, where the Prophet’s word is law, Moore is the product of a taboo interracial union that has marked her for eternal shame. Her novel thrives so well due to her love of dark fantasy and her vividly crafted storytelling skills. Currently, Henderson lives in Charleston, South Carolina. To that end, she loves painting and watching horror movies with her feline familiar. She grew up in one of America’s most haunted cities - Savannah, Georgia - which inspired her love of ghost stories. Henderson is a speculative fiction writer who focuses on dark fantasy, witchcraft, and cosmic horror. Well, at least not without breaking all of the rules first. In this Handmaid’s Tale-like society, protagonist Imannuelle Moore is unjustly cursed and cannot escape her ill-fated destiny.
