Rebecca and 255 other people liked Maureen 's review of Curtain Call: "The setting is 1930's London, and the main plot is a series of murders committed by the ' Tiepin Killer '. Though chilling and intense, the murders do take something of a backseat to the rich array of characters. Make no mistake though, it in no way " Read more of this review »

“Human bodies wear down," he continued . "They give out. No one is immortal, not without help. All writers wish to live forever, don't they? Even if they won't admit it. They vomit up these sacred parts of themselves, wrap those shards in paper, and pray the remnants will exist long after they are decomposing in the grave.”

Rebecca’s Quotes

“If you feel safe in the area you’re working in, you’re not working in the right area. Always go a little further into the water than you feel you’re capable of being in. Go a little bit out of your depth. And when you don’t feel that your feet are quite touching the bottom, you’re just about in the right place to do something exciting.”
― David Bowie
