I suoi racconti sono apparsi in riviste online e antologie come Litro Magazine, Storgy Magazine, The Real Jazz Baby. Laure Van Rensburg è una scrittrice francese che vive nel Regno Unito. Un avvincente romanzo volta pagina che gioca abilmente con i classici luoghi del crimine – una casa isolata, una tempesta di neve, nessun segnale telefonico – ma crea qualcosa di veramente inaspettato, toccando alcuni temi davvero profondi, ad esempio come affrontiamo l'idea del vittimismo e il punto di vista dei "predatori". Ma quando una tempesta di neve li blocca, diventa evidente che entrambi hanno oscuri e letali segreti – e che solo uno di loro uscirà vivo dal weekend. Eccitati dall'idea di conoscersi meglio, lontano da occhi indiscreti, fuggono in una baita remota nella baia di Chesapeake. Agent: Jenny Bent, Bent Agency.Ellie è una giovane, bellissima e inesperta studentessa della New York University – si sta preparando per un weekend romantico con il suo fidanzato molto più grande, Steven, un affascinante professore in un esclusivo liceo di Manhattan.
This deliciously creepy haunted house tale skillfully explores the psyches of two people who carry their own ghosts with them. When a snowstorm strands them, their wariness about the other intensifies. But each is suspicious of the other, especially Steven, who's keen to know what Ellie carries in her heavy handbag. They both want their relationship to work despite different backgrounds Ellie is an NYU grad student 17 years younger than wealthy Steven, who's a Barnard College professor about to move to Columbia. Arriving at night, they can barely see out the windows, but Ellie is sure she has seen someone among the trees. An unease immediately settles over them on their drive from Manhattan to Chesapeake Bay, where the remote house they've rented all "glass and steel" butts up against dark woods that lead to the ocean.
