Heartthrob

I LIVE FOR ADRENALINE. THE THINGS I ENJOY GIVEME A RUSH, AND I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO EXPERIENCE THAT INTENSE FEELING OF EXCITEMENT. What is the potential for evil in a person’s soul? What if that strange allure some men possess actually belongs to the devil? Are we even aware of the hellish potential within ourselves? In his novel Şeytan Tüyü (Heartthrob), renowned author and mentor Adil Yıldırım explores the relationship between a wealthy, powerful man in his forties and his own inner devil — pushing readers to confront just how “demonic” they themselves might be. “My philosophy of life is hedonism. My private life mostly takes place either in bed or at a restaurant. I’m either making love or eating enough to be able to do so. My greatest pleasure is women. The fact that I’m married — even that I still love my wife — doesn’t stop me. The purpose of my life is to experience different women, to discover them, to be with them — not just sexually, but to conquer their souls, to make them attached, even addicted to me.
