Second recommendation of the month.

There are a number of musicians I know who are clearly fictional characters.  People who you wouldn’t be at all surprised to find have actually been played by actors all along.  Jessica Law is definitely one of those.

She was born in the late 1800s, became part of the Midlands contingent of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, and then died about 1910.  Probably of consumption.  And then, thanks to some sinister backroom scientific experiment, was brought back to life and condemned to spend the next 100 years or so walking the earth and singing songs about death and revenge on a resonator ukulele.

Think of her as like The Woman In Black, only every time she appears a child doesn’t die.  Instead, a borrowed library book completely disappears from the face of the earth, cursed to never be returned, stamped and reshelved.
