Lisa Unger:
I have never heard of the turn of phrase "a dump of dread" which I found in two of your novels. Is this a typo or just an expression that I do not know of (ye)?

Hi, Birgitt,
Thanks so much for reading. I’m not sure it’s a common phrase exactly. And it’s interesting that I’ve used it in three different books. But for me it evokes that feeling when your stomach drops with fear or dread, when it’s so intense that dread feels physical rather than emotional.
