Review:
This is the first part of the sequel.
Year 1997, Vienna, Erik Dimitrov, a geologist living the life of his dreams in Austria working in paleoclimatology at the Austrian Climate Research center for more than nine years. After his Ph.D., he spent most of his twenties in his favorite lab and on many expedition sites across the globe.
One evening, he returns to his apartment in Vienna from one of his relentless research projects and finds a letter lying at his doorsteps waiting for him.
A letter from his distant old aunt, who lived alone in Bulgaria, his homeland. It reads, ‘Your parents were never dead. They were never there when the fire took place that night.’ Aghast and infuriated, he decides to visit his homeland to see his aunt and find his parents for answers for his devastated childhood. He reaches his hometown Mezo, a small town on the edge of the Balkan region, only to find the buried truth about the series of events that happened the same night when ‘Lenard house’ caught fire. An old commercial building at the heart of the town where his parents worked. And this visit to his homeland turns into an endless nightmare that leads him to the other side of the story which is way more direful and horrifying than he could ever imagine.
This is a nice paranormal story which you will be able to finish in few sittings. The plot is though centred on the horror fiction. I liked the way author has presented the story with twists and turns.
There are two sides of the story, before going to the home and after going to the home, which is the turning point of the story. I could imagine ongoing scenes.
This book is definitely recommended to horror genre readers and to everyone who likes to read such stories !
Talking about the title and the cover, they compliment each other and makes the reader more into the book. The language is simple and easy to understand.
