Fingerhut-Sommer - German Release August 21st 2015

Fingerhut-Sommer
Der fünfte Band: Schwarzer Humor trifft auf schwarze Magie

Many authors write about a place that they and perhaps also the readers know well, but although it is a common place it is given a “soul” or a specific personality. How do you as author give an ordinary place these properties?
Will some places work better than others - London is often used? Are there any places that are harder/impossible to animate? Do you have any examples of successful animations? Examples in addition to the participating authors: Neil Gaiman, Paul Cornell, Nene Ormes.
