• The Suiciders

  I’m currently approaching the final phases of The Suiciders, a novel I’ve been working on for the last nine years. Below, you’ll find an excerpt from the final-ish version.

  Lukas (this was Peter’s name again all of a sudden) got his GF preggers so they went out to find an abortionist to take it away [...]
