Big John and the Island of Bones: Big John, #2

By Duke Tate

It's October in the Florida keys, Fantasy Fest is underway in Key West and John and his wife Angela have just moved to the artist enclave for John to pen a book. 

John has traded his bad food addiction for a liberal island diet of Cuban coffee, rum and Habanos cigars.

 

Out of the blue, John has a startling dream and a ghost appears at their cottage, which sends John and Angela running to Miss Anne, the Voodoo Queen of Duval Street who gives them some poignant advice she sees in her cards.

 

No longer interested in John, Maggie May had a spiritual rebirth a few years back and now works at a psychic shop in Applebury, Vermont.

 

She just so happens to come into town to visit her friend from Santa Monica High, Hank Judge, who is now a cop on the island. 

 

Everything is ghosts and phantoms for the group until John and Angela see the light.
