L. M. Rapp writes literary speculative fiction at the crossroads of science fiction, fantasy, and psychological exploration.
Since childhood, she has been both troubled and fascinated by the animal side of human beings, and the fragile boundary that separates our so-called civilized world from nature. Where does the animal end and the human begin?
Her work explores this duality — as magnificent as it is monstrous — through novels and short stories where transformation, instinct, and identity collide. Perhaps because we are all, to some extent, chimeras.
She is the author of A Killer’s Scent, Of Flesh and Tears, Discordant Hearts, and Dreadful Beauty.
L. M. Rapp lives in Batsra, Israel, and devotes her time to writing.

From mermaids to vampires, transformation—physical or psychological—becomes the driving force to keep existing.
Je travaille actuellement à l’écriture d’un recueil de nouvelles intitulé Métamorphoses, où chaque récit explore, dans des univers variés (médiéval, contemporain, fantastique…), la métamorphose comme acte de survie. À travers des figures allant de la sirène au vampire, c’est la transformation — physique ou psychologique — qui devient le moteur du désir de continuer à exister.(less)

There Is Nothing Better Than Stories

A reflection on the invisible work behind self-publishing — editing, formatting, cover design — and the strange, silent moment when a book leaves its author’s hands.

John Irving
“A terrorist, I think, is simply another kind of pornographer. The pornographer pretends he is disgusted by his work; the terrorist pretends he is uninterested in the means. The ends, they say, are what they care about. But they are both lying. Ernst loved his pornography; Ernst worshiped the means. It is never the ends that matter -- it is only the means that matter. The terrorist and the pornographer are in it for the means. The means is everything to them. The blast of the bomb, the elephant position, the Schlagobers and blood -- they love it all. Their intellectual detachment is a fraud; their indifference is feigned. They both tell lies about having ‘higher purposes.’ A terrorist is a pornographer.”
John Irving, The Hotel New Hampshire

Sophocles
“All concerns of men go wrong when they wish to cure evil with evil.”
Sophocles

Marcel Proust
“Mais, quand d’un passé ancien rien ne subsiste, après la mort des êtres, après la destruction des choses, seules, plus frêles mais plus vivaces, plus immatérielles, plus persistantes, plus fidèles, l’odeur et la saveur restent encore longtemps, comme des âmes, à se rappeler, à attendre, à espérer, sur la ruine de tout le reste, à porter sans fléchir, sur leur gouttelette presque impalpable, l’édifice immense du souvenir.”
Marcel Proust, Du côté de chez Swann
