edit data

Stella grew up in a picturesque little village in lower Franconia (Germany). Later, she spent an entire year and countless holidays in England, which added to her deep love for and undying fascination with Great Britain, the Celtic culture and the English language. Meanwhile, Stella has been living in Switzerland with her cats for over ten years.

To make ends meet (and to be able to afford the daily bread and cat food), Stella currently works as a teacher. She loves music, sweets, tea and coffee in any shape or form. She also has a very soft spot for cats and other animals as well as an deep appreciation for good stories – no matter if they happen in books, songs, movies, computer games, or in real life.

Vivid and atmospheric. In this novel, Paver proves that the jungle might - at first glance - be very different from a mountain range (the setting of her first two books), but can be every bit as challenging, dangerous and haunted. However, the haunti ...more

Interessante Geschichten, aber für mich nicht wirklich Horror - dafür sind sie zu subtil und es bleiben zu viele offene Fragen.
