Clairviolence: Tales of Tarot and Torment - Paperback

by Mo Moshaty (Author)

The Tarot holds mystery, prediction, and unsettling omens for those who practice, divine, or are sensitive to it. A turn of the cards weaves CLAIRVIOLENCE through space and time to delve into the stories of those shaken by life-shattering choices that threaten to tear their souls apart: A warring couple is forced to reconcile during the end of the world. A young man is drawn into the surreal prison-scape of an elderly woman. A dead woman's curse travels miles and decades to bring her killer to justice. CLAIRVIOLENCE: TALES OF TAROT AND TORMENT unearths one novelette and ten short stories-- each one exclusive to this volume-- beneath the exterior of an otherwise charmed and quiet existence.
