BOOK PRESENTATION: "Die Villa - du wohnst nicht alleine"

Join us for the presentation of Markus Heitz's horror novel "Die Villa" on November 13, 2026, at the Hugendubel bookstore in Aurich!

The story follows Marina and her mother Doreen as they purchase an old villa and seemingly find great fortune. But they soon discover that the house lures its inhabitants with promises of success, love, and fame - only to demand a terrible price. As the death toll rises, a trail leads to London and a dark secret that extends far beyond the villa itself.

Markus Heitz ventures into horror: the bestselling dark fantasy author writes masterfully about a cursed house. Doreen and Marina Markert are a mother and teenage daughter who have struggled through life without much luck. Everything changes when they win an old villa in the Leipzig district of Gohlis at a bargain price at a foreclosure auction. There, their lives begin to improve in every way: the mother's business flourishes, the teenage daughter becomes a YouTube star. Both find the attention and affection they've been seeking. But everything has its price: when Doreen finally realizes what pact she and her daughter have unwittingly entered, it may already be too late.

Meanwhile, musician Ethan in London desperately searches for his mother's killer and uncovers a sinister connection. With each passing day, the death toll rises...

For all fans of gothic horror from Guillermo del Toro to Edgar Allan Poe.
