Keith Rommel ist ein amerikanischer Drehbuchautor und Verfasser erfolgreichen Horrors, der jetzt auch teilweise verfilmt wird. „In the end, The Cursed Man is a great suspense novel, with the tension gradually building momentum until it peaks with the story’s shocking climax. Like a great suspense story should, every time I thought I had this plot figured out, Rommel threw me another curve and left me second-guessing myself!“ (Leser) 224 Seiten – noch gratis?
Er ist ein melancholischer Barde. Sie erwartet, sich in einem langweiligen und vorhersehbaren Leben zu finden. Sie beide sind die einzige Hoffnung der Welt gegen einen Alptraum. Diarmud ist kaum der typische Barde. Anstatt freudvolle Balladen zu komponieren, teilt er warnende Geschichten, die die Dunkelheit in seinem Inneren reflektieren. „Overall, „Muse“ is a thought provoking fantasy, asking the reader to examine how they view the world and treat it. Do your melancholy thoughts cloud the world, distorting and ruining your perception of reality? Or will you find the good and see the beauty of the world, and act accordingly.“ (Leserin) (8 Rezensionen / 4,4 Sterne) 402 Seiten – noch gratis?
