Phantom Airship and Swamp Witch

In Depression-era bayou, a phantom airship—rumored from broken-radio transmissions and oil-lamp sightings—drifts over the gulf, its engine humming like a lost gospel. When a desperate aeronaut's experimental accumulator ruptures, it spills blue sparks into the cypress, reviving a feared swamp witch whose vengeance is as old as cotton and as modern as kerosene. Journalists, flophouse inventors, and a preacher's wayward daughter collide in a chase by moonlight, where aeronautics and ancient rites make the night itself vote between progress and penitence.
