About the book:
During Carnival, all noses are red. And some hunters become the prey.
For fifteen years, Micha has waited for this exact moment. Finally free, he blends into the roaring crowds of the Cologne Carnival, disguised beneath the mask of a white-haired vampire. His goal: the perfect prey. When he spots young, fragile Uschi dressed in an innocent ladybug costume, his dark, sadistic hunting instincts are instantly triggered.
He masterfully lures her away from the deafening noise of the crowded pubs, guiding her into the pitch-black, secluded shadows surrounding the ancient Romanesque church of Sankt Pantaleon. But just as he corners her against the cold stone walls to finish what he started, Micha is forced to learn a crucial lesson: on this festive night, he is far from the most dangerous predator roaming the historic streets of Cologne…
An atmospheric short story from Germany with dark humor, rich local folklore, and a supernatural twist you won't see coming.
