A Short story by John Lutz
A honeymooner's disturbing dreams are just a preview of his kittenish bride's strange powers.
Excerpt
Why not love at first sight? Especially if that sight was Katherine Prim?
William had never regarded himself as the sort to conduct a whirlwind courtship and marriage, but when he'd met Katherine at the sales convention in Cleveland, somehow he'd embarked on that road. And here was where it had led him, to a secluded honeymoon cottage in the Ozark Mountains.
William was from New Jersey and had never been to this part of the country. It was green and beautiful. The mountains weren't really mountains but gently rolling hills of pine and cedar trees that were high enough to be fogged with webs of mist each morning just after sunrise. But then little in this country was what it seemed. It had taken William only a few days to realize the eerie and ancient ritual and superstition that thrived in the area. Katherine seemed not to be surprised when the old woman five miles away at the market had mentioned being hump-backed because her mother had been gored by a bull when pregnant with her. Nor did she bat a beautiful green eye when the acne-pitted boy servicing their rented Jeep at the gas station talked of snake worship as casually as if he were referring to conventional church canon.
Maybe it was that kind of local talk and superstition that had prompted the peculiar dreams.
