Inkub
I could write essays about this gentleman. My beloved, Polish author of horror, who has given me a heart attack more than once and knows it very well, because I did not fail to inform him about it. He sets his books in the Suwałki Region, where there are many interesting nooks and crannies as well as scary characters. I started with Branchy , went through the Sinner , rolled through the Paradox and 87 centimeters in Spooky Christmas , I wait for Demon and love all the stories they read. Nevertheless, the Incubus made the biggest impression on me. It is possible that it was influenced by the circumstances in which I read this book. I was pregnant, but that doesn’t change the fact that the title is truly honorable. And the fact that the creator is now spending at Vesper is an additional bonus.
One legend, a village and an evil witch, but two eras and different stories. Welcome to Jodoziorach, a small town in the Suwałki region, where the northern lights will soon come. In a small house that has been forgotten by many, the burnt corpse of a couple is found. The village does not have a very good reputation as the locals know better not to venture there. Nowhere are there so many crimes, murders, suicides, disappearances and all kinds of violence. Rumor has it that the earth is possessed and the dead exist alongside the living, supernatural phenomena are normal, and the green light from the haunted house flashes every now and then. And all this jumble is of interest to an inexperienced district clerk who suddenly takes his own life. A policeman from Suwałki, Vytautas Česnauskis, gets the case of death. The farther into the forest, this discovers more and more disturbing facts and sees strange things. The trail leads him to investigate a case from the seventies, when a witch supposedly lived in these lands …
I don’t really like positions in which the then story is intertwined with the older one, but not this time. I approached the hedgehog a bit like a dog, but I decided to trust the author and I was not disappointed! How he grades tension, discovers new facts and keeps you in suspense is elaborated down to the smallest detail. The book is a great mare, over seven hundred pages long, and I finished it in no time. Only later it started … I don’t know what Artur Urbanowicz is doing to my head, but after each title I feel uncomfortable and as if watched. Until now, I am afraid of mirrors, thank you very much, Sinner … However, this is the best proof that the author is able to do this, and despite my horror, I am completely absorbed in it and I will recommend it all the time! – Katarzyna Gnacikowska
