Literary Short Dramas by✦Juliet Croft✦

A Faustian bargain. A house that belonged to the first wife. A boy with a notebook.

Short drama with its roots in the books — the bargains, the hauntings and the reckonings fiction has been turning over for two hundred years. I write and produce every one myself.

Then he finds out his illness was manufactured to order. By one of his own customers.
