Location from Wednesday by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar
The normie town below Nevermore — a picture-postcard New England village that profits from outcast tourism while harboring a centuries-old resentment toward the monsters on the hill.
Jericho exists in an uneasy symbiosis with Nevermore Academy — the town profits from outcast-related tourism and the economic activity the school brings, while maintaining a cultural distrust of the supernatural students it depends on. The tension is generational: the town was founded by Joseph Crackstone, whose anti-outcast ideology persists in families like the Gates. For Wednesday, Jericho is the investigation space — the crimes happen here, the clues are here, the normie suspects live here. The Weathervane coffee shop is where she meets Tyler. The forest is where the Hyde hunts. The town's history, buried under tourist kitsch and colonial architecture, holds the answers to the present-day mystery. The town's relationship with outcasts mirrors real-world dynamics of communities that simultaneously depend on and resent a nearby 'different' population.
A small New England town with the curated charm of a place that knows it's being looked at — cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, white-steepled church, craft shops, and the general aesthetic of a town that peaked in the 1800s and decided to stay there. The Weathervane coffee shop is the main social hub. Pilgrim World (the tourist attraction) celebrates the town's founding while sanitizing its darkest chapter. The forest between Jericho and Nevermore is where bad things happen.
