Scott Adlerberg

Thirty-five-year-old Kurt Morgan lives with his mother across the street from a graveyard. He becomes obsessed with a red-haired woman who visits the graveyard often, watching her through the telescope in his room, wondering whose grave she visits like clockwork. Meanwhile, his mother pressures him to write her memoir. She wants her book finished, and soon. Among these three - Kurt, the graveyard visitor, and Kurt's mother - a twisted triangle develops, with each person pursuing their specific obsession at all costs. Set one cold winter in upstate New York, Graveyard Love is a dark and atmospheric thriller that explores the far reaches of the human psyche. "Another masterful, twisted, deranged tale from the scrambled, fevered brain of Scott Adlerberg, who leads the reader through the dark and winding canyons of a functioning psychopath and makes his personal horror seem normal." - Les Edgerton, author of The Genuine, Imitation, Plastic Kidnapping and others "The ghosts of Cornell Woolrich and Edgar Allan Poe haunt the pages of this atmospheric thriller. Voyeurism, obsession and death - Alfred Hitchcock would have loved it." - Wallace Stroby, author of the Crissa Stone series

Deadlines: A Tribute to William E. Wallace

Kurt Morgan, 35, erfolgloser Schriftsteller, lebt mit seiner Mutter in einem viktorianischen Haus an einem alten Friedhof in der Peripherie von New York. Es ist Winter, es ist kalt und grau, und er spürt, dass sein Leben in der Sackgasse steckt: kein Einkommen, keine Frau, keine Perspektive. Seine überspannte Mutter lässt ihn bei sich wohnen, aber nur, damit er eine Biografie über ihr extravagantes Leben niederschreibt. Eines Tages fällt ihm beim Blick aus dem Fenster eine rothaarige Frau auf dem Friedhof auf – Catherine Embers. Kurt ist wie gebannt von ihrer Erscheinung und folgt ihr heimlich in das Mausoleum, das sie immer wieder besucht. Aus den verschiedenen Abhängigkeitsverhältnissen Kurts zu seiner Mutter und zu Catherine entwickelt sich eine albtraumhafte, von Misogynie, Begehren und Todessehnsucht geprägte Dreiecksbeziehung, welche die Figuren und die Leser psychologisch raffiniert in den tiefsten Abgrund menschlicher Obsessionen stürzt ... Ein literarischer Psychothriller in der Tradition von Edgar Allan Poe, Cornell Woolrich und Patricia Highsmith von einem der vielversprechendsten Talente des Noir.
