I also love folklore and mythology, and once I found the evil eye lore I just went down a rabbit hole of research, haha! Long story short, somehow these two unrelated ideas decided to mesh in my writerly brain.

Thanks for your question!(less)

“The number of insufferable people who could fit in one house was beginning to feel unrealistic.”
Lauren Blackwood, Within These Wicked Walls

“I chuckled, shaking my head. “Are we really going to argue over who’s sorrier?”
“Of course we are,” Magnus said, grinning. “You act like you’ve never met us.”
Lauren Blackwood, Within These Wicked Walls

“Say you’re only here for a patronage, that you don’t care for me at all, and I’ll leave you to your work.” He cradled my face and I closed my eyes to press back tears. “Because if you dare leave me a shred of hope, I will fight to have you with the last drop of blood in my body.”
Lauren Blackwood, Within These Wicked Walls

Within These Wicked Walls

Andromeda is a debtera—an exorcist hired to cleanse households of the Evil Eye. She would be hired, that is, if her mentor hadn’t thrown her out before she could earn her license. Now her only hope of steady work is to find a Patron—a rich, well-connected individual who will vouch for her abilities.

Parable of the Sower
Parable of the Sower
by Octavia E. Butler

When global climate change and economic crises lead to social chaos in the early 2020s, California becomes full of dangers, from pervasive water shortage to masses of vagabonds who will do anything to live to see another day. Fifteen-year-old Lauren Olamina lives inside a gated community with her preacher father, family, and neighbors, sheltered from the surrounding anarchy. In a society where any vulnerability is a risk, she suffers from hyperempathy, a debilitating sensitivity to others' emotions.
