The old antique vanity and mirror was handed down from generation to generation, from mother to daughter, along with the legacy of its madness; the heavy burden carried by all the Burton women, the haunting image within the glass, the reflection of innocence lost when the mind fractures beneath the weight of HER judgment...
We see what we want to see in the mirror, but when the mirror looks back at us, what does it see?

M Teresa Clayton does it again with Storyteller, a compilation of short fictional stories. Storytellers have been reaching beyond the ordinary for ages - channeling stories from somewhere beyond our own reasoning. After the story is told the questions begin. What if we could see what it is that whispers our name? What if there is intelligent life inside a drop of rain? What if we could navigate time and space?
These and other questions are asked within the stories told herein. A word of warning, the price of hearing the story is greater than the telling of it.
RL Hodge provides dark imaginative images to compliment the stories therein.
Nine short stories that are based in scientific fact but are still considered metaphysical. The story AURALI is included - a vampire-like tale only instead of blood, they feed on aura's (a life sustaining soul).
