Four Live Rounds (Blake Crouch) читать бесплатно онлайн полную версию книги (ч. 4)

Foreword

As a horror writer, I often get asked what scares me.

My answer is always the same: Blake Crouch.

More than any other author working today, Crouch knows how to make the reader squirm. Part of it is because he dreams up scenarios so horrible that I fear for his sanity. But I think the main reason he’s so effective is because Crouch writes about characters you really feel for. Then, when he puts them through hell, you experience every cut, every bite, every atrocity.

This short story collection is a perfect introduction to Crouch’s skewed world. But before you dive in, please heed my warning. I don’t care how tough you think you are. You still need to brace yourself.

Because this is going to hurt…
