Si ça saigne

 by Stephen King, published on February 10, 2021 by Albin Michel editions.

Her favorite quote:

“Holly opens the email she sent to herself and saves the attachment to the USB drive.

She hesitates when it comes time to name her.

Finally, she types: IF IT BLEED.

A phrase that sums up the sinister nature of this creature, she said to herself.

That's what keeps her alive.

Blood and pain.

"
