About this book
A historical fiction novel with elements of horror and folklore, set in September 1913 at a mountain health resort in the Silesian hills. Its central purpose is to probe truth, belief, and the fragility of human certainty against a backdrop of social upheaval and whispered superstition. The intended reader is adult, drawn to literary fiction that blends atmosphere, philosophy, and unsettling mystery. The emotional tone is contemplative and eerie, with dark humor shining through moments of surreal dread.
The narrative follows a young Polish patient arriving at a cloistered guesthouse where residents gather each evening to sip a hallucinogenic liqueur and debate the era’s great questions: monarchy or democracy? Do devils exist? Are women born inferior? Meanwhile, something unseen seems to watch from the hills, pressing closer to this guarded world. As the newcomer tries to untangle personal truths from the mystery beyond, the book invites readers to question how danger, desire, and curiosity shape a life—and a community—under pressure.
The reading experience is story-led and richly atmospheric, weaving horror, folklore, and feminist parable into a single, immersive journey. The prose lingers on mood and detail, turning the guesthouse into a living character whose corridors murmur with rumor and menace. Readers move through a sequence of intimate conversations, uneasy observationsReader reviews
