Dead Corpse
by Nuzo
Onoh
GENRE: Horror
BLURB:
When the only child of a humble medicine woman is murdered for
ritual magic, she will call on all the awesome powers of her deity, the Earth
goddess, and exact a terrifying vengeance on an entire village. The angry dead
shall rise again and a dark cloud of terror will shroud both the guilty and the
innocent in a deadly supernatural curse.
Excerpt:
There
were three doors leading off the living room. He paused again, uncertain which
door to try first. The last thing he wanted was for the witch to hear him
trying out the wrong door.
That
was when the light came on in the room to his right, seeping out from the high
gap underneath the shut door. Fucking witch had wakened. Eze cursed and reached
for the light switch on the nearest wall, flooding the living room with light
from the single dusty bulb overhead. There was no time anymore for caution or delay.
He rushed to the door, his movement surprisingly swift, adrenalin fuelled. He
turned the knob and pushed the door in with a loud shout, intent on shrieking
terror into the heart of his opponent.
His
shout caught in his throat. Hot piss gushed out of his bladder, washing his
trousers with terror ammonia. A tight band gripped his heart, squeezing the
breath out of his lungs. He stumbled back, backwards to the door through which
he’d crashed into the room. His eyes, horror-wide, starred at the apparition before
him, the albino girl he had last seen inside a secret shrine, drenched in her
own blood, her warm heart pulsating inside the witch-doctor’s bowl. Eze moaned,
his lips quivering like a child deprived of food. Her cackle hit him like a
bullet, sending chills right through his veins to every nerve in his body.
