A snippet of this weeks Patreon Exclusive chapter.

Lurking in the shadows of Detroit’s history is a red-eyed harbinger of doom, the 'Nain Rouge'.

In this chapter, we explore the legend of this elusive creature said to appear before disaster strikes. From the founding of the city to its moments of greatest turmoil, the Nain Rouge has remained a constant, now even commemorated in parades. 

We’ll trace the roots of this peculiar folklore, uncovering its connections to French colonial superstition, Native American tales, and the city’s own evolving identity.
