Voodoo practitioner Bartholomew DuCuir XVII calls upon his ancestor's spirit to summon British novelist Anna St. John to New Orleans to draft his epic tale of revenge. As Anna becomes aware the murders in her manuscript are happening in real time, she spins out of control to the point where she can no longer distinguish fantasy from reality.

In this paranormal thriller, Laningham's tale enthralls. This taut novella boasts strong dual characters. Laningham quickly establishes a relentless, unnerving tone and a genuinely disturbing conclusion. A compact but unforgettable tale.
