One of Australia's Premier Mentalists, Chris Johnson invites you to take a perilous, yet inspiring, journey into his imagination. Here you will find twelve haunting stories, one for each stroke of midnight, that rise within your mind to hold you captive.
1: CALL ME - Brad is woken by a phone call, a wrong number from a woman with a sultry voice. She pleads with him. Don't hang up. But this is more than a hard luck story as he learns this call is important to someone he holds dear in life.
2. SPARE ROOM - When Jim and his wife discover an old and lonely house waiting for a buyer, they jump at the chance. Perhaps the change will help them heal from a tragic loss. A fresh start is what they need. But the house is not empty, and its haunting occupant has a special wish of its own for them.
3. DATE WITH NORMA JEAN - Glen and his friends join a psychic party hosted by a mysterious man named Khan. The host claims to be immortal due to a wish from a genie in a glowing green bottle. Glen, an avid fan of the sexy screen siren Marilyn Monroe, has only one wish to make. It seemed a good joke, and he had nothing to lose. Or so he thought. Sometimes you must be careful of what you wish.
4. EVA - When a young Australian visits his family from the old country of Germany, he learns of a vicious family secret. And it's an old secret, one that soon finds him trapped in an isolated house by a beautiful seductive vampire called Eva and her past victims. She wants to give him just one kiss...
5. NO MORE GOODBYES - A young man, still mourning the death of his fiancee in a traffic accident, learns that sometimes they do return.
6. THE MAGIC CAROUSEL - Six-year-old Benny is taken to an old man's house by his aunt. There he sees a beautiful, colourful little clockwork carousel. This merry-go-round has a soul and mind of its own and can grant wishes. For it can take him anywhere he dreams.
7. THE GUARDIAN - James inherits his grandmother's old house. It's perfect for him and his wife Celia in the old neighbourhood where everyone knows and looks out for each other. But James' grandma used to be a witch, and her familiar spirit comes with the house.
8. THE OTHER MAN: When you wake through the night and encounter a stranger in your home, what do you do? The other man looks like you, sounds like you, and holds an important secret.
9. ONE MAN'S WIFE: When henpecked husband Jim caught the bus to work, he found himself sitting next to an incredible woman who he had dreamed of that night. Coincidence or destiny?
More stories abound that challenge your imagination and the law of attraction.
From the whimsical to the nightmarish, these twisted tales - one tale per strike of the midnight hour - possess the power to assume any horrific shape. A mother's love for her daughter allows her to revisit from the grave every year... A young married couple's love is tested by the spirit inhabiting their new home... A lifeguard finds himself stalked by a silent lady with a cause that transcends time, and so much more.
Within this singular volume, Chris Johnson, a talented mentalist and psychic entertainer, takes you on an imaginative journey into the corridors of his mind.
