Brilliant again, Daniel. Showing that horrors can be carried out far more frequently by humans against their own than by the worst monsters of our imaginations
This is such a great story that I always look forward to reading, but know that each chapter is one step closer to the end. Might need to go back to the start once I’m done 😁👍🏼
Thank you so much, Alexander! I’ve been fascinated by this period of German history since I was young. Two years ago I would never have thought of exploring it through a horror novel! 😀
Tragedy follows Hermann, tragedy precedes him. It seems like by being a steady presence for Walter and Walter giving him a cause to continue, when no family remains, Hermann clings to sanity in spite of his curse! Seems like there is a glimmer of a future. Can't help but hope, for the hopeless. Perhaps the thread that runs from beginning to end?
It’s funny you say that. When I first started the story, I didn’t know that it would take on a life of its own. I’m excited about the direction it’s taking, especially the chapters coming up involving the emigration to America. I don’t want it to be unremittingly grim, but I’m wanting it to be an honest depiction of the era, which means removing the rose-tinted glasses.
Thank you, Jim. I spent much of last year reading up on the Franco-Prussian war and the formation of Germany and I’m glad that you took the time to comment on the authenticity! 😀

Thank you so much, Daniel. Your substantive and detailed reviews are always so encouraging.
The amount of detail in this is fantastic and adds much authenticity. Well done, Daniel!

Ah, but there's always a time for everything. And now you've done it, splendidly.
I don't know where that David came from! 😬
What’s funny is my favorite professors routinely called me David during college, so it was flattering to have another professor I like do the same. 😀
That's uncanny. I have no clue how this happened, maybe some ethereal channelling... 😂
