Black Thread
Welcome to In The Cards, a multi- author collection of standalone thriller and horror short stories. In this series, you’ll find stories inspired by the meaning of a specific Tarot Card, thoughtfully written with that thread woven through. Whether you’re a Tarot Card lover or not, you’ll find thrillers and horrors that will creep under your skin and into your thoughts. *Knowledge of Tarot Cards is not necessary to read or enjoy these stories.*
It’s just a silly little ritual they saw online.
Tie a thread. Make a wish. Burn the rest. Don’t take it off.
It’s the kind of thing you do and forget—until it works.
After a drunken night, Milan, Drew and Lilah wake up to find their lives impossibly altered. The things they wanted most begin to fall into place with eerie precision.
But something else is happening, too. Consequences no one can explain—or ignore.
When the original video disappears and similar stories start surfacing, the friends are forced to confront a possibility they can’t shake.
Their wishes aren’t just coming true, they’re taking something as a replacement.
And the ritual may not be finished yet.

This is one of my favorites in the series! It's a story of choices and consequences. Just how far are you willing to go to get what you want? This was beautifully written. It's so easy to say one thing and mean another. You could feel it all, the fear, the guilt, the pain, the desperation. An easy five star!

“Black Thread” by Sara Lea is another gripping In the Cards short story that proves every choice comes with a price. It’s centered on greed, consequences, and the hand you're dealt, this intense, fast-paced read kept me hooked from beginning to end. Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it, and regret every second of it. It’s dark, suspenseful, and thought-provoking, this one is definitely worth the read.
