A quiet town in the north of Germany becomes the scene of a series of different cases of mass slaughter. The peaceful inhabitants of this town are terrorized by these savage and gruesome murders that begin for no apparent reason. Elderly citizens meet a cruel death with no one able to explain why the terror has struck the town. When the sense of calamity dominates then the barriers collapse and people’s logic becomes clouded, but the solution for this mystery isn’t that far.
About the author
Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859) was an English writer, essayist, and literary critic, best known for his Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821). Many scholars suggest that in publishing this work De Quincey inaugurated the tradition of addiction literature in the West. His immediate influence extended to Edgar Allan Poe, Fitz Hugh Ludlow, Charles Baudelaire and Nikolai Gogol, but even major 20th-century writers such as Jorge Luis Borges admired and claimed to be partly influenced by his work.
