📝 Description: Fleischpuppen

Thomas Neukum presents a psychological thriller grounded in true events. The narrative centers on a fallen businessman who abuses his three daughters at a desolate location in Siberia. He employs a system of control, dependency, and fear to break their psyches. The text examines whether he truly holds the stronger position despite his actions. Guiltless and dry as a film protocol, the story details the moral decay of this family. It traces their descent until life becomes hell. Neukum draws on real incidents to construct this account of power, mistreatment, and misogyny. The author qualifies himself by reporting on these specific true events rather than inventing fiction. This approach creates a stark, unflinching look at domestic tyranny. The book suits readers interested in psychological horror based on reality. It appeals to those who prefer nuncle narration over sensationalism. Readers seeking lighthearted supernatural tales or traditional gothic romance will find this unsuitable. The focus remains strictly on the abuse and the struggle for survival within a broken family dynamic.
