Sütő Fanni magyar

Agnes was the only living and breathing human I knew but my world was by no means lonely. Every day I was walking with Petrarch and his Laura in the forest, feeding my loveless heart the emotions it never knew. I read Boccaccio’s stories and laughed in the face of plague. I descended to the deepest circles of darkness with Dante. I dreaded going to Hell. There was no place for monsters in Paradise so my fate was sealed. I was going to burn in Inferno. I cried every day, mourning my afterlife but I never stopped reading. I devoured the horrors with a perverted pleasure.

Scarlett crept around in the house, clutching a giant leek in her hand as a makeshift weapon. The house was as peaceful as a cemetery. Scarlett thought of going home when she finally heard a noise from the guest dining room. It was something she didn’t expect: the rattle of cutlery and satisfied burps.
Virginia did not mention she was expecting somebody and Scarlett shuddered at the thought of a burglar raiding the kitchen. What if he killed her grandmother and was chopping up her body at this exact moment? Scarlett shook her head. Maybe she was reading too much Stephen King lately. And anyway, what kind of burglar would eat peacefully in the burgled house? Scarlett clutched her battle-leek and burst in.

Nem gondoltam volna, hogy eljön a pillanat, amikor összejön egy saját kötetre való, de íme, most itt van. A kötet címe Double Vision, avagy Kettőslátás, mert magyar és angol novellákat tartalmaz vegyesen. A legkorábbi magyar novellák az Átokfölde-trilógia tagjai (A lila esti órán, A régi babám panaszai, A puszta tündére), amik olyan 2010 körül születtek. Angolul rendszeresen 2013 óta írok, ezek a novellák mind azóta teremtek. Remélem, a kedves olvasó legalább annyi örömét leli bennük, mint amit én a megírásukban.
