A superb short story, taken from the collection TWENTIETH CENTURY GHOSTS, by an award-winning novelist.
Jack's mother is a storyteller, a game-player. On an impulsive trip out to the family lake house, she spins a macabre tale for Jack and his father - a tale that, as the weekend progresses, Jack finds more and more difficult to untangle from his family's real life.
