Blurb:

Rashell’s brother has vanished. When the local villagers express no concern, she enlists the help of a stranger from a faraway city to find Teth.

 Investigator Derrik discovers the people worship a massive stone known as the Amethyst. Even more bizarre, an ancient relic of a mummy fuels their reverence.

 Given limited time, Rashell and Derrik confront these mysterious elements at play, all the while striving to uncover what happened to Rashell’s brother.




Review:

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rashell's brother is missing, and no one is her village is doing anything to help find him. Keer the village leader seems to not ever care that he is gone. So she sends away for an outsider to come investigate. They don't like outsiders in this place


Derrik, is an investigator who arrives but it isn't just the missing brother that he is interest in. Yes it is part of the reason he is there, the other is because stories of this village has reached the organization that he works for. It is the cult like worship that goes on in that village that is the real reason he came. 


You see the people of this place worship a large stone called the Amethyst, and it's connection to the oracle, an ancient mummy. Like I said they don't like outsiders, if you are not connected they want to purge you, to keep them safe.


This short story was eerie and horrific. A quick horror fantasy that is very Lovecraftian. If Jesse Nolan Bailey ever decides to expand on this tale I would love to read it. Also need to point out the trans rep in this book. ++ for that.


Meet the Author



Enthralled by the magic that written stories contain, Jesse Nolan Bailey has always wanted to be an author. With his debut novel, THE JEALOUSY OF JALICE, and his shorter fiction, AMETHYST, released to the masses, he can now claim such title with relief. He lives in Durham, North Carolina, where he has embraced the equally-gratifying lifework of hosting a trio of spoiled cats and two mini-aussies
