Comme une image
by Magali Collet, published on October 6, 2022 by Éditions Taurnada.
His favorite quote:
"- But you were counting, she told me you were counting pinching her nose.
- Yes, it's true, I was counting the scabs to tell her how many I had removed. I didn't know it was wrong , dad, I swear, otherwise I wouldn't have done it."
Why this book?
Because it's a novel that will surprise
you and chill your blood at all levels.
A dive into the heart of the birth of evil in all its splendour.
The atmosphere is gloomy, perfectly described by Magali Collet.
The story is disturbing and takes you to the guts, I think it will haunt you as much as it still haunts me several days after finishing it.
Because the distressing feeling that this novel generates
is very strong, I immediately felt that the author was directing us towards a tragedy.
This child gave me goosebumps, still gives me nightmares, I'm not about to forget her anytime soon.
Magali Collet, who reveals all her talent with the writing of this story, has outdone herself to offer us an extraordinary reading experience.

The author.
Born in 1972 in Colombes, Magali Collet is passionate about words.
She has been writing poems, short stories and columns for many years.
Her sensitivity to the cause of women, those who suffer from not being able to escape their condition, appears implicitly in all her texts.
This book was read with
the fear of finding myself one day face to face with such a child, absolutely calm but possessed by the devil himself.
What an experience to experience the outcome as a release from his grip while being fascinated by the power of evil that inhabits him.
