Familiar Spirit
Author: Lisa Tuttle
 
. . . it hadn't gone as the books had promised. Something had gone wrong, despite all her care, despite the magic circle. The spirit - Valerie remembered suffocating, remembered drowning - the spirit had not obeyed her commands - the spirit had . . .
'Possessed you,' said a voice so close it might have come from a man in bed beside her . . .
 
The dreams had come. Dreams of a bloody, degraded past. But not her past. Dreams of sheer terror. Her future. Dreams of huge evil-eyed rats. And dreams that were not dreams at all but waking, nightmarish reality.
