In Frank Thillier’s novel Forest of Shadows (2007), an elderly billionaire Arthur Dofre, with the help of novice writer David Miller, decides to fulfill his long-standing dream: to resurrect a serial killer known as Executioner-125 on the pages of the book — by the number of grams that were cut from the flesh of future victims … As a result of this strange whim, David and his wife and little daughter, as well as Dofr and his young mistress, have to spend a whole month in the German backwoods, in the heart of the black forest. Cold, snow, lost in the chalet. The writer enthusiastically tackles the story of a psychopathic killer, but soon it becomes clear to everyone that something strange is happening in the chalet, and some doors were definitely not worth opening …
