Wo der Himmel größer wirkt als anderswo, wo Alleen in die Ferne führen und kleine Städte mit Markt, Hafen und Kirche ihren eigenen Takt haben.

I’ve always wanted to be stalked. Turns out, I already am. Signing that contract was supposed to give me control, masked strangers, the illusion of danger, and a fantasy I could walk away from. Except the men who answered weren’t strangers at all. They chased me through cemeteries, cornered me in libraries, and left notes on my pillow while I slept. I thought it was a game I controlled. Then the masks came off. They intercepted my contract. Hacked the website and manipulated everything to make me theirs. One of them has been watching me for months before I ever signed anything.

Köstlich, mit schwarzem Humor und der nötigen Brise Grauen, die einem einen Schauer über den Rücken jagt. Bereits zweimal verfilmt (1949 und 1981) gilt Das Biest mit 5 Fingern von W.F.

I denna ondskefullt listig satir bestämmer sig Djävulen för att grunda sin egen kyrka—en plats där synden inte bara tolereras, utan upphöjs till dygd, i direkt opposition till Guds lära. Med sin karakteristiska kvickhet och psykologiska skärpa bygger Machado en berättelse som samtidigt är religiös allegori och skoningslös kritik av mänsklig självrättfärdighet och socialt hyckleri. Men när Djävulen tror sig ha full kontroll över sin anti-kyrka upptäcker han en obekväm sanning: människan är aldrig så konsekvent som hon själv vill tro.
