Overview

Josephine is cursed, and in a series that darkly blends American crime noir with unnamed Lovecraftian horrors, we follow her from 1950s San Francisco, where crooked cops hide deeper evils, to mid-'70s L.A., where burnt-out actors and ex-cult groupies are caught in a web around a satanic snuff film, then back through the ages of time... and in the middle of it all is Josephine, with a power to die or kill for.

"""Brubaker doesn't write a word more than necessary, and Phillips' scenery has all the right angles, evoking a film-noir feel without slavish imitation. If the words 'last call' make you think of 'The Call of Cthulu, ' this is your kind of hard-boiled tale.""-- ""Booklist"" ""Graced with a suspenseful plot that has more twists and turns than an alpine road, and deliberately understated artwork, Fatale boasts both intrigue and an atmosphere that feels as densely bleak as a San Francisco mist at the tip of Fisherman's Wharf at dawn."" -- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""In Brubaker and Phillips' hands, Jo shows the seams, the paste and spit and wires lurking behind the femme fatale's glorious fa�ade."" --Megan Abbott, bestselling author of The Turnout ""This isn't just another noir series; Fatale takes everything the duo has learned about producing classic noir crime stories and mixes it with horror and magic.""-- ""IGN"""
