Alchemy of Secrets

A unique class on local folklore takes place inside an aging movie theater, led by an enigmatic instructor known only as the Professor. While the curriculum covers seemingly impossible Los Angeles urban legends, the students are quick to dismiss the unsettling material as mere entertainment.

The lectures delve into bizarre local tales, from a mysterious Hollywood figure who can predict the exact moment of a person's death to a haunted hotel bar where the devil is said to linger. As the course progresses, the safe boundaries of academic study begin to crack under the weight of these impossible stories.

Stephanie Garber delivers an atmospheric narrative that explores what happens when the dark folklore of a glamorous city turns out to be more than just fiction.
