Curse of the Ottawa And Other Stories: The River Looks Dangerous. It is. 07/30/2026

Curse of the Ottawa And Other Stories: The River Looks Dangerous. It is.
-
Curse and Other Stories
-
In this riveting anthology of psychological suspense and eerie mystery, ordinary moments unravel into something far more dangerous. A ten-generation Algonquin curse threatens to claim its final victim. A summer counselor faces the heartbreaking realities of abandoned children—and the unsettling pull of guilt. And on a high-rise ledge, two broken men come face-to-face with the truths they’ve spent their lives avoiding.
-
These stories dig beneath the surface of fear and loss, exploring what happens when the past rises, when innocence fractures, and when the mind becomes its own battleground. Taut, haunting, and deeply human, this collection lingers long after the final page. (Keri Ray Burnham)
-
For readers who seek suspense that unsettles, characters who feel achingly honest, and mysteries that echo over years.

A home for emotionally disturbed children. A 12-year-old seductress. An eight-year-old girl murdered her infant brother. And a 12-year-old abandoned boy who can’t stop swearing steals the student’s guilty, broken heart. (B. J.)
