"Ci guardammo per qualche attimo negli occhi. Lui mi osservò con evidente curiosità, quasi scientifica, come se fossi un raro esemplare di qualche animale esotico. Io semplicemente con voglia lussuriosa. Lo volevo, lo volevo terribilmente. Volevo che fosse mio, come non avevo mai desiderato nessun altro. Jax mi fissò per minuti che mi parvero infiniti, prima di dire: "Baciami.""

You won’t find the place on any map. It’s somewhere else, hidden away in a wondrous parallel reality of mystery, awe, and terror. This both is and isn’t the “Old West”. They share the same stark and unforgiving terrain and exist in the same timeframe, primarily the 1800s. But there the similarities cease. In Spirit County, for example, death is often not the end, but the beginning. Sometimes even the middle. Mythological creatures prove real...and deadly. Towns can disappear by daylight and return with the setting sun.
