The darkness from the books

A flaming inferno shakes a mental hospital in the Bavarian Forest and the death of a patient brings a young psychologist dangerously close to the abyss of madness.

What drove the arsonist to commit his self-destructive act?

Is a mysterious book the key to the dramatic event?



With "Die Dunkelheit aus den Büchern", Tobias Prediger's first short story is now being published by Yellow King Productions.



In his story "Die Dunkelheit aus den Büchern", Tobias Prediger succeeds in drawing the reader into the maelstrom of mental abysses in just a few pages. Right to the infernal end. And we wouldn't want to be in the shoes of the narrator, who is a "executor" of this story. Because beware: madness – as HPL already knew – is particularly contagious when it comes from the darkness of books.
