Joan of the Arcane

Perfect for fans of Mona Awad and Maria Semple, this gripping, offbeat journey through modern-day Los Angeles is a genre-blending, darkly humorous exploration of suburban life, conspiracy theories, and spiritual awakening. A page-turning psychological trip for anyone who's ever wondered if all their crazy ideas . . . might actually be right.Joan is a middle-aged punk rocker turned housewife who's seen too many TikToks to trust the official narrative. The moon landing? Faked. Weather? Controlled. Food? Poisoned. Her suspicions ignite when a strange new neighbor--possibly a dead astronaut with ties to secret ops--arrives on her block.As Joan spirals deeper into the rabbit hole, she begins to question everything: her marriage, her sanity, and her soul's purpose. Armed with a mystical book and a fading voice that once shook LA punk clubs, she sets out on a spiritual journey through canyon trails, desert portals, and shadow realms to expose the truth--and reclaim her power.
