In the 1960s, Allison Mugler's son Martin is diagnosed by Chicago-based award-winning clinical psychiatrist Dr. Marak Burad as having Life Trance Dementia Syndrome (LTDS) — a condition that enables his spirit to float undetected from his body and metaphysically visit other people. His Life Trance becomes trapped in an enchanted eighteenth-century anniversary clock, leaving him a child with special needs.
In 2008, after purchasing the timepiece from a unique shop in Brooklyn, aspiring jazz singer and art collector Charly Bergeron inadvertently releases Martin's Life Trance through his DNA. The act opens a time portal and Martin is perceived as a glowing poltergeist. When Martin and Charly finally meet, they discover a common thread that includes superhuman abilities and an inescapable mission.
The Stokerdine Conspiracy is the combined edition of Glowing in Darkness Volumes I and II by Stacy Stewart Smith.

Design
Every Stacy Stewart Smith piece begins as a drawing and ends as a decision — a deliberate choice of textile, construction method, and proportion made by a single designer with five decades of practice. The same eye that composes a painting composes a coat: line, weight, negative space, and the relationship between form and the body that inhabits it. Garments are produced in New York City, one at a time, to the measurements and preferences of the individual client. No two pieces are identical. No production run exists. This is not manufacturing — it is making.
The atelier sources textiles for their hand, weight, and longevity. Sustainability here is not a campaign. It is the natural consequence of making only what is wanted, from materials chosen to last, by a craftsman who will not put his name on anything less.
