Demons, Daughters, and Father God

Rating:
Summary: Uh, no.
Review: Making a deal with a demon has effects that reach into the future for one family. Danielle thought it was just a story when she was told the crystal ball had magic, but it was no story. As her family and friends watch in horror, a normal, albeit bratty child is turned into a monster who is capable of saying the most shocking and hurtful words. Her psychic games take on a deadly turn, and then the truth is revealed. A blood price has been paid for her foolishness, and the toll will rise higher if the devil is not stopped.

* Like Stephen King, the story makes the ordinary a source of fear. The shock comes from the sudden and graphic interjection of terror into the mundane. As a sharp counterpoint, Biblical verses are used to separate the sections of the story. *
