Abstract: Judaculla is the coming-of-age story of Tim Fletcher, his recently discovered
family, and their interaction with a mystical realm called the Land. Under threat from
both a vengeful Cherokee Totem named Spider and the soul-sucking Shivers, Tim and his
family must learn to navigate and preserve the Land. In order to save the Land, Tim must
learn he is Judaculla, the mythical Cherokee “slant-eyed giant,” and fight back against the
forces seeking to destroy the Land. Based on Cherokee folklore and Appalachian history,
Judaculla is a magical realism work of Southern Gothic literature.
