An Ancient Gift and Other Stories Jeanne Grunert

An Ancient Gift and Other Stories is a collection of three ?light? horror stories. These tales of the paranormal are akin to old-fashioned campfire stories - stories that offer a sense of the uncanny without the gore. ?The Glove? offers the chilling tale of a woman recounting how her grandfather?s prejudices - and gift for sorcery - terrorized a neighborhood boy. Is her son at risk, too? ?Friday Night Visitor? features the old trope of a deal with the devil. But unlike fiddle contests of old, Rita, our heroine, must guess a riddle to unveil the identity of the visitor and save the guy she loves. ?An Ancient Gift?, the title tale, offers glimpse at a reluctant psychic. Anna and her sister Amy are charged with clearing out her grandmother?s house for the real estate agents when they uncover an unusually wrapped package in her father?s childhood closet, a deck of antique tarot cards. Did their father have the ancient gift of divination, and does one of the sisters have it, too?
