Stolen Souls Theresa Padilla

In 1885, Finnius Locke invented the Anima Obscura, a unique camera intended to capture the old west before it was gone. But the camera captured much more. For more than a hundred years, it has traveled throughout the country, capturing the souls of those it photographed, leaving thousands dead and giving rise to the belief that cameras steal the souls of those it photographs. Within these pages are the pictures and stories of the people the Anima Obscura has enslaved and tormented in its wake.
