The Shattered Line

Simone Beaudelaire

Sinossi

A legacy of violence. An inescapable destiny.
 
Psychic journalist Jack Landry is living his best life. He has a great job as a travel writer, a satisfying relationship with his business associate Britayne, and thousands of miles of distance from his family’s New Orleans home - the site of an evil he can no longer remember. His only regret is his estrangement from his twin brother, Adam.
 
Until one day, when Adam calls Jack to say their grandmother was killed during Hurricane Katrina, and that he needs Jack’s help to settle the estate. Jack wants nothing to do with Louisiana, let alone that house, but he cannot resist the chance to reconnect with his twin.
 
Entering the Landry home incinerates all of Jack’s perceptions. Is Britayne really his girlfriend? Does Adam want reconciliation or revenge? And most disturbing of all, are the ghosts that haunt Jack’s nightmares the malevolent entities he always believed they were, or merely ancient memories?
 
Settling these questions will take Jack and Adam to the heart of a mystery centuries in the making... and might claim both brothers’ lives.

Stories About Curses - The...

Thomas Hardy, W F Harvey,...

All words have a value, they have a truth.  Even misinforming us is part of their job.  But they are only words, sticks and stones etc etc. 
 
But in this volume our authors explore the use of curses.  These strings of words might seem harmless enough if you don’t believe they can have any ill effect.  Little by little, though, sometimes they do.   Our brains connect curse with that action, that happening and now we might be seeing them as cause and effect.   Perhaps that curse really does have some power, some potency, and if that is so maybe that curse is malevolent and its true purpose is not to wish us good.
