This is from The Prestige by Christopher Priest in case any one wonders. It's a good book!

[–] LesserAbe@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

Thanks for the context. I've seen this at least two other times and no one mentioned it.

Is that the same story as the movie by the same name?

It is. I liked the film but they reworked some elements of it. I don't think it does the book justice.

What's on the next page?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

Yes, that one.

The one who is out for a walk?

[–] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The vampire sired by his soul mate, Drusilla.

[–] FauxPseudo@lemmy.world 19 points 3 months ago

Okay, but were the rest of the pages blank?

Diary excerpts that end too soon
