Ein hintersinniges Meisterwerk über eine Zeit der Wut. Ein Dorf in Ostdeutschland: Walter, ein zorniger Mann, erschlagen in der Silvesternacht von Hilde, der eigenen Frau. Nur kurz vor seinem Ende war er plötzlich sanft und ihr zugewandt. Dann ein Friedhof: Die Toten studieren die Lebenden. Walter wird zum Chronisten, sieht sich dazu verdammt, die Schicksale im Dorf festzuhalten. Und er fragt nach dem Warum. Was war der Grund für Hildes Tat? Geschah es aus Hass oder aus Barmherzigkeit?

The sky above Galveston, Texas, darkens to the sickly green of a healing bruise, the sea turns black, and the inhabitants of the city have no idea the force of the hammer about to drop on them. On September 8, 1900, a hurricane ripped apart Galveston, Texas, killing nearly 8,000 people and nearly obliterating the town. Lansdale's story brings dimension to many who lost their lives that day, and a few who survived.
