Her late mother told her terrifying tales of the sinister Black Thurrick, and Eve is sure that she has seen the creature from her bedroom window. What is more, she has begun to receive mysterious parcels of birch twigs, the Black Thurrick’s calling card.

Über manche Fälle wollte ich den Mantel des Schweigens fallen lassen, da man nicht mit genauer Gewissheit die Geschehnisse rational nachvollziehen konnte. Durch meinen verehrten Kollegen H. P.
