Uvanlig hyttetur for Alex og vennegjengen hennes.
"Mrs. Woods, you're hurt," Dina exclaimed, and I followed her
gaze to see a red mark on my aunt's high forehead. It almost matched

The clock on the kitchen wall says noon, I'm late for the
bed-thing's shit but regardless I am drawn to the drawer
still hanging open, the photographs Móraí is keeping
from the museum, half spewing out.
I pick through them and every one of them shows the
bed-thing back in the smiling days.
Afraid the dog might change its mind and come after me
again, I ran for all I was worth until I reached the edge of
the woods. Then I stoppped and turned around.

Her bedside light flickered.
Anna slapped at the lamp, more annoyed than scared, but
the groaning itensified, and fear took the lead.
Someone was stumbling around out there.
Boka minnet meg en smule på Drag me to Hell. Ikke selve konseptet, men tonen. En horrorkomedie som jeg hatet.
"It's reasonable, Lise. Don't worry. If you need help, I can help."
"I don't need charity."
She huffed. "That's not what I said. This hotel was my pick. If
it's too much for you, I can help. It's not a big deal, okay?"
"I can pay for my own room."
Det nye året startet med et smell. Neida. Bare tulla ...
'You ready to go?' I say. Even if it's just for coffee and
wi-fi, I'm excited by the prospect. I don't want to waste any
more of our first day in Paris cooped up in this dingy flat.

Something flapped behind her, and she whirled, to see the
spread and blankets landing on the rug.
There was something underneath the sheet.
Florence stared at it. It was a figure of a man. She
started toward the bed, tightening as she saw that the figure
was nude.

The darkness was absolute - her eyes refused to adjust.
It wasn't like London; there were no streetlamps outsie.
She was forced to inch along, feeling her way forwards.
Det har vært få bøker å like i det siste. Det går lenger og lenger tid mellom godbitene, men heldigvis var ikke denne så verst.
Thursday morning was foggy - a wet ground fog so
thick that it had a taste: sharp and puffy cumulus clouds
maundered across the sky beneath a high blanket of
cirrus.
