Amid the modern trappings of 1950s Savannah, an ancient evil threatens a young widow and her daughter in this chilling short story by award-winning author Veronica G. Henry.

When her husband dies unexpectedly, Maggie Royal is struck with sinister visions that foretell danger for her and for her five-year-old daughter. Her mother and grandmother were said to have “the sight,” but it was never like this. With no one alive to turn to, Maggie must move quickly to uncover the meaning of her visions before her candle is snuffed out.

REVIEW:
Another new-to-me author.
This is an author I need to read more of, that's for sure! 
I normally am not a fan of ghost stories but this one had me rapt. It was unlike anything I had read before, but the author's writing is what made it goes down so easily. She has an ease....
Definitely original and interesting.


4/5

Still, it was kind of cool to reminice about two cartoons from my childhood. So many great actors bring the film to life! What a fun story it was too! Although
