Creepy mystical thriller from the author of The Rift! After many years, the burned-out 30-year-old returns to the residential area on the edge of town, at the foot of a mountain hiding a blood-curdling secret, where children disappear in the harshest winters. Together with his former love and friends, he must face not only the evil force, but also the shadows of his own past. His failures and disappointments until then are nothing compared to the hell that awaits him at the place of his childhood... bestselling author Jozef Karika's terrifying story interspersed with supernatural elements is also a sensitive narrative about how everything we experience as children affects our lives. "I didn't just want to write a twisty story, I wanted to give the readers a good dose of fear. I wasn't satisfied until I fell asleep with the light on after writing a chapter. However, when I managed to scare myself thoroughly, I considered it a sign of success," the author revealed. During his work as a translator, he received a scholarship from the Slovak Art Fund (Fond na podporu umenia).
