Cassandra Khaw

    Cassandra Khaw verfasst Geschichten, die sich mit den beunruhigenden Aspekten der menschlichen Natur und den unordentlichen Konsequenzen schlechter Entscheidungen befassen. Ihr Schreiben zeichnet sich durch rohe Ehrlichkeit und einen scharfen Blick für die Schwachstellen aus, die Charaktere vom Weg abirren lassen. Khaw erforscht meisterhaft die Spannung zwischen dem Gewöhnlichen und dem Schrecklichen, oft im engen Rahmen einer Spukhaus-Kulisse. Ihre Erzählungen fesseln die Leser durch ihre unerschrockene Untersuchung fehlerhafter Individuen, die sich in gefährlichen Situationen zurechtfinden.
