Dark Mother Earth

A tense, mysterius, unforgiving and on the moments humerus novel set in small region in the tense, mysterius, unforgiving and on the moments humerus Balkans.

It is a thriller and a book about life small remote village among small folk and their small lives. The "thriller" side (I do not like that term and I do not know if I am using it corectly but my lack of vocabulary and laziness are here so it will do) is interesting and it keeps the plot going and I like the interwined realistic perspective and childlike naive fantasy that softens (or worsens) some grussome scenes.

Personally I read far too many books covering the theme of growing up in rural parts of South-Eastern Europe, and yes I am from those parts (if my grammar did not uncover that yet) so for me it felt a bit repetitive but I think that outsider may find a lot of interesting here.

Cheers.
