“Last Week” by Christian Giovanni is the featured story in the first of four issues of this author’s “Eerie E-zine Presents” series. In this tale we find a high-priced hooker who is given a second chance to relive the previous week, after learning what would result from bad decisions she already had made.
Cora and Danny have gone to see a fortune teller to learn of Cora’s future. Faye, the fortune teller, informs Cora she has angered something ancient and evil. She instructs Cora to look at a blank canvas and tell her what she sees.
Thinking it a scam, Cora screams when blobs of different colored paints hurtle themselves at the canvas, from some point in the dark room behind her. When those colors become a picture of the beast from her nightmares, Cora is seriously freaked out.
What could it all mean? Is her future inevitable? Or can she change it for the better, given a second chance?
“Last Week” is a bizarre but captivating tale, suspenseful and well-written. It will take you places you don’t want to go, and show you things you won’t want to see. Christian Giovanni has penned a fine tale of paranormal/supernatural/suspense/horror, blurring the lines of distinction between those genres in a most delightful way.
As always, his characters can be easy to hate or to love, and sometimes both at the same time. Giovanni has pulled another spell-binding tale from the depths of his imagination, with which to entertain, and perhaps to warn, those of us who have discovered his “Eerie E-zine Presents” series.
Fans of good fiction, regardless of genre, will find much to appreciate in this e-zine. “Last Week” was an excellent choice with which to launch this series, and I heartily recommend it.
