Joe Golem and the Copper Girl

Short story introducing Joe Golem, who features in the 2012 novel "Joe Golem and the Drowning City" and the 2015 Dark Horse Comics series "Joe Golem: Occult Detective". In 1925, earthquakes and a rising sea level left Lower Manhattan submerged under more than thirty feet of water, so that its residents began to call it the Drowning City. Hard-nosed private detective Joe Golem and his employer are faced with one of their strangest cases yet when a young mother named Rachael Blum arrives on their doorstep, frantic about the bizarre changes in her daughter's appearance and the terrible dreams plaguing the girl.
