Ghost on the Left (Paranormal Payback)

Description

Carl Redling was set on fire when he was a child, and the two miscreants who did the deed never answered for it. Now Carl is an angry teen under the thumb of his controlling mother, who is afraid he will impregnate his girlfriend, repeating the mistakes of his older brother. Dragged to a depressing shore house each weekend with his mother and aunt to care for an old dying woman, Carl gets angrier still, to the point of murder.

Hortense Kessler is Carl’s aunt, an old woman who has loved her nephew since birth. She has both a gift and a curse. Born with psychic talents of her own, her abilities ramp up when she begins receiving cryptic messages from an entity that whispers into her left ear. When those messages begin hinting that her beloved nephew might be a killer, Hortense decides she must confront him.

When Carl inadvertently invites the whispering spirit to leave his aunt and attach to him, he realizes that the relationship is different. Helped and guided by his new partner in crime, Carl sets about righting old wrongs, and a few new ones, and can now deliver the ultimate paybacks without leaving a trace.

In this unique ghost tale, C. Howard Rieling plies his craft with deviant twists and comic relief, providing an ending that will sweep readers out of their seats.
