Clairviolence: Tales of Tarot and Torment

Rate this book
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

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 unearths one novelette and ten short stories—each one exclusive to this volume—beneath the exterior of an otherwise charmed and quiet existence.

“The Horror take on Tarot I didn’t know I needed.”

Melody Cooper, OMNI, African Ghost Short Stories"Unsettling and thought-provoking. Moshaty's characters rise from the page."

Tim McGregor, Lure and Eynhallow"Mo knows what horror lovers want. Incredible list of tales told by an incredible talent. These stories pop.”

Mark Matthews, To Those Willing To Drown
