-- English & German versions -- A young scientist for arctic studies follows the ominous last notes of her institute's founder into something that by modern science has no right to exist: a dead place beyond ... The story here picks up ideas from my on-going worldbuilding project. It's a bit darker and maybe even more classic horror than I usually write, including also some more "baroque" language (I don't know how that happens sometimes ... ;-) ). There is an absolutely beautiful review by @TaintedBloodBooks, check it out here: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/book-review-the-blanked-cold/ And another review by reads.emma at Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CGlLOeH6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== So proud of these :-) Btw, page 1 is the English version ("The Blanked Cold"), page 2 the German ("Die Leere Kälte"). Happy reading! --- Eine junge Wissenschaftlerin für Arktisforschung folgt den ominösen letzten Aufzeichnungen ihres Institutsgründers hin zu etwas, das gemäß moderner Wissenschaft gar nicht existieren sollte: ein Ort jenseits unserer Welt ... Die Story hier greift Ideen aus meinem aktuellen Worldbuilding-Projekt auf. Alles etwas düsterer und vielleicht sogar etwas mehr klassischer Horror, als das, was ich normalerweise schreibe, inclusive einee etwas "barockeren" Sprache (ich habe keine Ahnung, warum das manchmal so passiert ... ;-) ). Es gibt eine fantastische Rezension von @TaintedBloodBooks (auf Englisch), die findet Ihr hier: https://taintedbloodbookscom.wordpress.com/2024/06/08/book-review-the-blanked-cold/ Und noch ein Review von reads.emma auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DB_CGlLOeH6/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Frei mich total über beide :-) Btw, auf Seite 1 findet Ihr die englische Version ("The Blanked Cold"), auf Seite 2 die deutsche Version ("Die Leere Kälte") Happy reading!
