There is that moment where you are preparing to leave on a trip, to leave a nightclub or reach the hotel you booked. The moment when you are going to pick up your children at school, and when you take them to the Carnival. When you are about to meet your future in-laws, or pick up the phone that rings in the middle of the night. There's that ordinary moment, fluid and commonplace, which we do not expect to turn into a nightmare.
Charline Quarre is a young French writer. After her first two more "academic" novels released in France (of which one was selected for the 2013 Françoise Sagan literary prize), Charline Quarre now plunges her readers into horror with this collection of 9 short stories, the first book by this author to be translated into English.
