11,96 €
Kateřina Šardická's Noci běsů is a mystery thriller with elements of folkloric fantasy. Twelve years ago, four children vanished from a remote border village. Three return as young adults with no memories of their time away. Astrid Mahlerová is left asking what happened to her brother Max.
About the book
Neither Astrid nor the other returnees can explain where they were or why Max has not returned. The search unfolds during winter nights around the turn of the year, when local superstitions describe a thin boundary between ordinary life and the unknown. Ancient deities, family secrets, and the villagers' fears make the community central to the story.
Astrid pieces together clues without knowing whether her dreams stem from trauma or relate to events nearby. Uncertain memory sustains the tension between psychological and supernatural explanations. Her search also explores how fear and unspoken experiences persist within a community.
