Über diesen Titel
The shop wasn't there on Monday.
Between the dry cleaner's and the nail salon, where Karen Singleton has walked every day for three years, a door now stands. CURIOS & CONSIDERATIONS, the sign reads. EST. 1887. Below that: The Perfect Thing for the Perfect Person.
Inside, a man named Mr. Considine listens. He doesn't interrupt. Doesn't judge. Doesn't offer platitudes about forgiveness. He just asks one question: Is there someone in your life who's wronged you?
Karen thinks about Dr. Goodfellow. The affair. The promises. The promotion she earned on her back that went to someone else who was better at the game. She tells Mr. Considine everything.
He offers three gifts to choose from. A ring that poisons its wearer slowly, blackening the skin from finger to heart. A clock that counts down to the moment of death, its ticking inescapable. And an antique surgeon's kit—including a lobotomy set—that compels its recipient to perform the procedure on themselves.
The price? A drop of blood. A piece of soul.
But Karen isn't the only customer. And the gifts work exactly as promised. And when your enemy dies screaming, someone else might be shopping for a gift... with your name on the tag.
