From An Editor, Erin Foster:-“I think you have a unique and well-told story on your hands, which is a benefit in a world where so many books being published are just re-tellings of the same old stories we've all been hearing for ages. This is especially important for you with a supernatural horror; I've read so many vampire stories at this point that they don't even have to try to put me to sleep. So reading something completely different was incredibly refreshing”Mostra libro
