Summary


Disturbing horror that uncovers family trauma and long-held secrets

 

If someone calls you at a strange hour and addresses you by your full name, you had better sit down: good news doesn’t tend to be given this way, as Ema Březinová can testify. Death and loneliness have come for her – along with the twisted family history she has always tried to forget, and from which there is now no escape. 

Ema has no choice but to open old wounds and hope that after long years of festering they will finally heal. Not all questions should be answered, however. Nor can every mystery be solved without human sacrifice.

Ema’s life is shrouded in darkness, choked by depression, and governed by paranoia. Because her search has awakened powers that are not to be messed with…

 

”Vilém Koubek proves to be a master exponent of the atmospheric horror that disturbs by what appears real and what appears supernatural. A weighty book that makes a deep mark.”
Jiří Štěpán, editor
