  • I love the way he tells the stories, it’s often told from a very unique point of view, like the victim, the plumber, or the killers and you don’t see what’s coming. I like guessing how the story ends and I’m almost always wrong… it’s always better than I expected, lol, it’s the only time I like being wrong, lol. I love the strange, dark and mysterious!
