Determined to exact revenge on an unfaithful husband, a beautiful witch has a dying wish: to be buried in a glass-topped tomb so the sun can always look upon her corpse. Inspired by a true story.

("Sunshine Lady" is a short story. It is also included in the author's 6-story collection, Arm of Darkness.)

Letitia Huger knows her time on this earth is short. The year is 1887. Her lungs are rebelling against her, and the man she loves has run away with another woman.

Wracked with pain, Letitia races against time and nature to get her affairs in order.

First order of business: design a tomb that allows the light of the sun to shine on her face forever.

Second: use her witchcraft to curse her husband and his kin for all time.

Third: die—and await the horrific ghostly reckoning.
