The Voodoo Doll: The Priestess And The Pleasure
On a hidden beach a captivated traveller spies a group of girls dancing naked around a glowing fire, gathering each night to perform a mindless ritual. He realises they are being mind controlled by a mysterious woman in Priestess robes who conducts them from behind the rocks across the beach. An ancient voodoo doll clenched in her grip, she choreographs the dancing girls’ display, usurping the little doll’s power to elicit pleasure instead of pain.
Closer inspection reveals the Priestess is in a trance herself, clearly controlled by the eponymous little doll. And the traveller cannot help but attend every night to watch the girls perform… is he the final piece of the little doll’s puzzle? Can either of them fight the mental dominion the evil doll holds over them and free the girls from their deadly fire ritual – or will defying such ancient evil lead to death?
A spine tingling horror ebook short from Andrew Reeves, creator of The Empty World. The Voodoo Doll: The Priestess And The Pleasure is the official accompaniment to American bass metal act Off The Realm’s powerful new single of the same title. Andrew was commissioned to write his horrific little tale by Tim Black, frontman and mastermind of the US band. Tim’s vision was the creation of a song and story simultaneously, each to compliment the other. Andrew’s short punch of literature is based on the idea of Tim’s foreboding lyrics, which tell the dark tale of an evil voodoo doll who cannot be destroyed. Andrew’s tale echoes the theme and is best taken as a further incident of the doll - perhaps a sequel to the song - which is by Andrew’s description ‘crooked and old as the moon’ and has obviously been wreaking its own version of hell for many generations.
Readers who purchase Andrew’s terrifying tale will also receive a free copy of Off The Realm’s new single, which features a spoken intro voiced by Andrew, informing the listener the doors have been locked for their own safety before Tim’s soul-shaking music blows the dust out of everybody’s ears!
You won't want to miss the story or the song!

About the author
Andrew Reeves
4 books4 followersUK-based writer Andrew Reeves aims to inspire his readers with stories they won't forget. In his pursuit to be creative, Andrew is many things: author, screenwriter, poet, composer, songwriter, musician, designer, cartoon illustrator and proofreader to name a few. In addition to novel writing, Andrew has written several screenplays and short stories of varying genres, including tales for younger readers, and has proudly co-created over 3,600 silly words with crazy definitions, compiled as a nonsense dictionary which he and a fellow co-writer hope will very soon see the light of day.
Andrew also spent a handful of years designing downloadable multiplayer levels for Star Wars PC game Jedi Academy under his pseudonym of Several Sided Sid, faithfully re-creating iconic scenes from the movies and creating brand new environments for the gaming world to explore and use as skirmish arenas for online battles. Andrew's original creative love has always been his writing, and it's the pen he wields now instead of the sword (hey, it's mightier).
Andrew recently had his short comedy sketch The Wall printed in the inaugural issue of Scaffolding Literary Magazine, published by Jalapeño Publishing, and is thrilled to say his tiny little fairytale screenplay THE LEGEND OF STONY BOB AND STONY BILL achieved Semi Finalist position at the Shortcut 100 Chicago Short Film Festival 2017. He is currently hoping to take his Legend to the big screen!
Andrew is the author of two books currently, with many more on the way! THE VOODOO DOLL: THE PRIESTESS AND THE PLEASURE tells the story of a traveller who becomes enslaved by an ancient doll who commands a group of girls dancing on a secret beach, and his struggle to overcomes its ancient evil.
He is also more notably the author of YA Sci-Fi novel THE EMPTY WORLD, which begins the adventures of fourteen-year-old Danny Ringrose, whose father Robert is a renowned scientist who has cracked the secret of cloning stones and created a carbon copy of Planet Earth in a manmade parallel universe, as an intended home for Mankind, once our current home world will no longer be able to support us. Yet Danny's father's benefactor is evil megalomaniac Rasmus Creece, who has been secretly shadowing all of Robert's work, re-engineering it to create a frightening contraption known as the Big Bang Machine.
Danny, brave and biologically upgraded by his father's Human Enhancement Program, long-abandoned by the military following revelations super-soldiers had been created in a Lab, must prevent Rasmus from ever using his Machine. But first Danny must learn of the real reason his parents have gone missing, and follow them to his father's Empty World, where more than just a new hope for humanity awaits...

Beat, rhythm, cadence, not overt, subtle, an echo of the voodoo, permeates the story. It's been a while since I read the tale, but that energy stayed with me. A compliment to the writing. Absorbing, drawing one into the inevitable, which is fascinating, as we see the drama coming, yet that powerlessness is entrancing. A veritable spell with words.
I'm intrigued by how shaped and crafted words transport us through time and space, I can still see the fire and the beach in my memory, even though ofc I've never been there. Or have I? I enjoy writing which is not pushy in it obviousness of agenda, which achieves its aims with a seemingly modest demeanour, yet, achieves more than one realises.
