To this day I can only watch "La Cité des enfants perdus" (City of Lost Children) in full daylight and with someone watching along. It's a combination of the unease in the story and the cinematography.

Into the Split is the third story of the "Twinned" trilogy and can be purchased as an e-book and trade paperback through @duckprintspress.com or through most bookstores and libraries! This is in the “6x9” format, with white paper and glossy cover options. The final book had 444 pages.
