    About this series

    Death was all he deserved . . . until it wasn't.

    No sooner than I step out of sight of Death, and what our deal has wrought, do I regret the words I've spoken.

    My heart aches from the harshness of my tongue, and I wonder if I have made a grave mistake.

    And yet, I do not turn back. No. Instead, I harden my heart against these thoughts. Against my feelings.

    Sealing my fate with yet another mistake borne of disobedience . . . not only to my mother's dying wish, but to the true desires of my soul.

    A fate that will force me to my very knees to save the ones I love. To save him. To save . . . us.

    Contains mature themes.

      Death was just the beginning. I have suddenly found myself in a strange new realm. A realm in which all I know is death. Where the life I led before is nothing but a shadow haunting the peripheries of my mind. It calls to me, begs me to remember what happened . . . but the more I try to recall, the less I seem to remember, and the more terrifying this cruel new world becomes. I am an enigma, not only to myself, but everyone around me. A soul lost in a world of darkness that wants nothing more than to devour me. To claim me as its own before I have a chance to escape. Before I have a chance to remember who I am . . . and how I came to be here. Before I remember, him. But even then, the Underworld has no intention of letting me go. Not unless I can win them to my side. Contains mature themes.

      I’ll Have None of You: Reconsidering the Female Death Drive

      Mar 28, 2018

      On its most visceral level, Leila Slimani’s The Perfect Nanny is about infanticide: “The baby is dead,” we read on its very first line. What could possibly jar after that? But this literary blockbuster (Chanson Douce, or “sweet song,” in its original French) may be just as startling for how the killer instincts of its … The post I’ll Have None of You: Reconsidering the Female Death Drive appeared first on The Millions.
