Geerten Meijsing
my books V
After the immense trial of The Unwritten Doctrines I broke down.
Hence a dive into the underworld. I always had been interested in the inner recesses of the human soul and the mental derivations thereof.
These are my two 'pathological' novels: Between Knife and Throat, about depression, and Dead Girl, about borderline.
I rather enjoyed my permanence on the gloomier side of the street, looking for evil and self-destruction.
Rather a miracle I came out alive, somehow, and felt the need to go on writing, as if the devil were at my heels. Death never feels far away again.
