The Jam Sessions: A Doppelgänger's Echo

Maggie Wildblood barely knew her grandmother Flara—just birthday cards and crisp twenty-dollar bills. When she inherits a remote Michigan cabin filled with vinyl records and strange jam jars, it’s the perfect opportunity for content.

Until things get weird. Jelly jiggles inside their jars. Vinyl records play without being touched. And the townspeople watch her with a ravenous hunger—waiting for something to awaken inside her.

When Maggie discovers her grandmother’s journals detailing bizarre “jam sessions” from the 1970s, she begins experiencing vivid flashes of an earlier life—of partying with a drastically younger Flara and preserving jars of jam with the eerie psychedelic music of Pink Floyd, The Doors, Iron Butterfly, and Jefferson Airplane.

Most unsettling of all is the strange woman she glimpses in these visions, a woman with her face who seems to be reaching out to her across time.

Only Everett Nash, the intense forest ranger, seems alarmed by what’s happening. “Leave Pinewood Harbor. Never come back,” he warns. But even as Maggie feels drawn to his protective presence, she suspects he knows more than he’s saying about her connection to this place—and why the haunting music calls to something buried deep inside her.

In Pinewood Harbor, the past isn’t preserved—it’s alive and hungry.

JAM SESSIONS will make you question every memory you thought was yours and every jar in your pantry.

Some melodies echo through time.

Some vessels wait to be filled.

Some preserves are never meant to be tasted.
