My Name is Jack Priest and I write horror stories. You know, the kind of something is under the bed and it’s a gonna getcha kind of story. I’m a rabid Dylan fan, but I play the Stones, Beatles and the Dead all the time too. And because I live about ten months of the year in the Caribbean on my sailboat, “Night Witch”, I also play Jimmy Buffett. Believe it or not, you live on a sailboat, you play Jimmy Buffett. It’s like a rule, no not like a rule, it is a rule. I think they keel haul you if you don’t have his CDs on board, either that or they send someone up in a bosun’s chair to throw a line over the first spreader, then they hang you by the neck till dead. Good thing for me I’m a Parrot Head as well as Dead Head or I’d really be in trouble. Rick and Ann Gordon are well off the beaten track, in the middle of the great Australian desert, when an ancient jeep lumbers toward them. It pulls alongside and an old Aborigine gets out, leaving an old woman in the car. Rick takes the man’s hand as he slumps down. Dead. The woman smiles, then dies too. They bury the old couple, drive back to civilization, then fly home to California, all the while keeping the secret of what had happened out in the desert. Soon after people around Rick start dying. First strangers, then Ann, then friends. And somebody has made it look like Rick is a murderer. To save himself and a child he loves, he has to find the real killer, before the police find him, but there is something after Rick. Something connected with the death of two old Aborigines. Something from the Dreamtime. Something bad. Jim Monday’s wife leaves him for a slick German doctor named Kohler and his existence goes all to hell. He suspects the doctor wants his money more than his wife and hires his best friend as his lawyer. Then his friend is killed before his eyes. Jim attacks Kohler for the crime and is arrested. He knows the doctor did it, but he has no proof and can’t get any behind bars. While in jail he learns about Donna, a woman in trouble who desperately needs to be rescued. She is the victim of the same man who has stolen his wife. It has been a long time since his days in the violent Vietnamese jungle, a long time since he’s had to call on skills he’d put to rest. He’s rusty, but not useless. He has to escape, has to rescue both Donna and his wife, has to save them from a horrible fate. However Kohler is as evil as Lucifer himself and calls forth an ancient horror to end Jim’s life, once and for all. Jim escapes from jail and goes after the doctor with the police hot on his trail. He knows what’s after him, but he has no idea about what is waiting ahead. Alone in bed, young Carolina Coffee plays with her locket, a gift from her dad. She doesn’t know he stole it from an evil woman in Trinidad. Carolina hears a noise outside her window, looks up and sees red eyes staring in at her. Something horrible is outside. The Night Witch is a soucouyant, Southern Caribbean cousin to the vampire and werewolf. She is a never aging shape shifter born of a mixture of Voodoo and European folklore. She lives forever because she wears a locket that contains a magic potion. Her locket has been stolen and she wants it back. |
