The Lifted Veil is a haunting and enigmatic novella that delves into the complex themes of destiny, clairvoyance, and the nature of reality. The protagonist, Latimer, is a man who possesses the ability to see into the minds and futures of those around him, a gift that ultimately proves to be more of a curse.

Reviewer: Bernie - December 29, 2014 Subject: The Lifted Veil What a mournful tale, read in an appropriately mournful manner. To be listen to only when one is light of heart and the day is pleasant, otherwise you'd likely give up on life as too sad to bother with. |
