She leaned against the door and pounded it with her left hand, setting up a hollow racket, but stopped when her hand began to throb and the fear swept back in a suffocating wave, driving a storm surge of rage before it.
Она прислонилась к двери и заколотила по ней левой рукой, подняв глухой стук, но рука немедленно начала нервно дергаться и пульсировать. Вновь накатила удушающая волна страха, породившая резкие всплески ярости.

Даже при свете дня это было мрачное место; в темноте же казалось, что его вызывающая приступ удушья теснота таит в себе бесконечное множество каких-то гротескных, уродливых фигур.
