Synopsis
Some places aren't lost.
They're hidden-waiting to be remembered.
Marcus Jefferson is a memory worker-someone gifted with the ability to uncover what the world tries to forget. When he begins drawing houses that no longer exist, he is pulled toward a quiet Southern town where entire neighborhoods have vanished from record and memory.
The people who remain do not speak of what was lost.
But the land remembers.
As Marcus follows the traces of what has been erased, he uncovers a hidden history shaped by displacement, silence, and generational trauma. The deeper he listens, the more dangerous the truth becomes.
Because these houses were not abandoned.
They were taken.
And something is still waiting inside what remains.
The Map of Broken Houses is the first book in The Memory Worker Series, an African American cozy horror and Southern gothic series exploring memory, legacy, hidden histories, and the quiet supernatural forces that shape what we remember-and what we try to forget.

About the Author
Albert Scales, PhD, DBA, is an African American author of cozy horror, Black Southern Gothic fiction, and culturally rooted storytelling that explores memory, ancestry, and the unseen. His work blends supernatural elements with African American history, family legacy, and community life, creating atmospheric stories where the past is never truly gone.
Raised in Essex County, New Jersey, with family roots in the Carolinas, Albert draws on generational memory, cultural identity, and lived experience to craft stories that center place, spirit, and emotional truth. His writing is known for its slow-burning tension, haunting settings, and deeply human characters.
He is the author of the Haunts of Willow's Crossing series and the Ashwater Trilogy, both of which feature cozy horror and paranormal fiction from an African American perspective. These stories focus on ancestral memory, haunted homes, spiritual inheritance, and the ways history lingers in everyday life.
Albert is also the creator of the Brave on the Inside children's book series, which supports emotional growth, self-confidence, and social-emotional learning (SEL) through relatable storytelling centered on a young Black girl's journey to find her voice.
His books are ideal for readers who enjoy cozy horror, Black horror, Southern Gothic fiction, paranormal mystery, and character-driven stories rooted in culture, healing, and generational truth.
