ກ່ຽວກັບປຶ້ມ e-book ນີ້
The award-winning master of horror, acclaimed author,
screenwriter, and scholar Tananarive Due’s classic African Immortals series
starts with an electrifying piece of dark fantasy, My Soul to Keep.
When
Jessica marries David, he is everything she wants in a family man: brilliant,
attentive, ever youthful. Yet she still feels something about him is just out
of reach. Soon, as people close to Jessica begin to meet violent, mysterious
deaths, David makes an unimaginable confession: More than 400 years ago, he and
other members of an Ethiopian sect traded their humanity so they would never
die, a secret he must protect at any cost. Now, his immortal brethren have
decided David must return and leave his family in Miami. Instead, David vows to
invoke a forbidden ritual to keep Jessica and his daughter with him forever.
Harrowing, engrossing and skillfully
rendered, My Soul to Keep traps Jessica between the desperation of
immortals who want to rob her of her life and a husband who wants to rob her of
her soul. With deft plotting and an unforgettable climax, this tour de force that Stephen King called 'An eerie epic' is
sure to win Due a legion of new fans.
