Wish (Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces)

Love. Possession. Murder. Alan, a homeless veteran struggling on the streets, acquires a cursed black bottle from a mysterious stranger. Inside lurks a malevolent djinn-a murderous spirit which possesses Alan. When he crosses paths with Badora, the daughter of a powerful cartel leader, Alan saves her during a failed kidnapping, earning him a dangerous position under her father's command. As Alan struggles to protect Badora from both external threats and the djinn's growing influence within, he desperately seeks a way to break the curse. Yet with each failed attempt, he inches closer to a horrifying truth: the only way to stop the djinn's reign of terror is to sacrifice himself. Wish is a horror retelling of Aladdin. This morbid story is part of the Twisted Tales of Familiar Faces collection, featuring classic beloved characters twisted into terrifying nightmares.
