Previously published in the
anthology titled The Best of the Best” in 1998, the short story Headaches
and Bad Dreams features two frequent plot elements familiar to any
reader: murder and psychics. What author Lawrence Block does with these two
common elements makes this short story far different than most.
Sylvia Belgrave is a
psychic. Not one of those fake celebrity psychics one sees on television that
has plenty of money. She is the real deal and charges her clients low prices
because she wants to help people. Her desire to help as well as a need to rid
of her severe headaches and bad dreams leads her to contact the local police
because she may be able to help with the case of a missing little girl.
This is not a simple and
straightforward tale. Deftly weaved into Headaches and Bad Dreams is a
backstory worthy of a novel as well as multiple current day storylines. The
result is a complicated tale that may very well surprise you with its outcome.
