THREE INCH NAILS Evil is reborn in the shape of a hammer and nails! An old box of metal nails tells a sinister story that begins in 1972 in La Boca, Buenos Aires, Argentina. Mariana Perez, a kind, innocent fourteen-year-old girl, is fascinated by woodworking and construction nails that she collects from her uncle's hardware store. In the solitude of her small apartment, she develops a close connection with the nails, and they become her companion in misfortune. One day, at her uncle's store, she overhears a bizarre conversation between two physicians about a psychiatric patient who had killed another. Although very young to comprehend all the medical terminology used by the doctors to describe the patient's death, Mariana learns the truth from her mother's medical book. Mariana's obsession with nails and medical books eventually turns into murder. Whenever mean people hurt her, she kills them ingeniously, one by one, and no one suspects that a sweet fourteen-year-old girl can kill people. Thinking that living illegally in a country with strict laws could end her unstoppable desire to kill, Mariana moves to the United States of America. Still, her thoughts of killing more people become real, and secrecy ultimately turns her life into a horrific nightmare that consumes her whole existence. She begs God to help her stop killing, but He doesn't listen to her desperate supplication. As she grows older, she finally realizes that her goodness is engulfed, more rapidly than she imagined, by a psychological monster too hard to defeat. Mariana wasn't born evil; life made her so. Seeking a satisfactory explanation of why she kills people may get her a way to stop it and redeem herself from her sins.
Autorenporträt
At a young age, Marylou began actively writing poetry. Writing a novel is more challenging than writing a poem. Novels have writing-length complex stories with extensive exploration of characters, themes, and settings, so she taught herself how to string sentences together into paragraphs and paragraphs into chapters. It takes patience and commitment, and she's incredibly determined and thrives under pressure until she succeeds. Her liking for writing thriller novels comes from the old cliché "What is forbidden becomes more attractive." Her mother was strict and forbade her children from watching thrillers and horror films, so Marylou and her sister would sneak out and go to the neighbor's house to watch scary movies. Despite particularly liking thrillers films and writings, Marylou is kind, compassionate and happy, and has been living a peaceful life in Massachusetts since 1990. She's the author of: Three Inch Nails; and Dot.
