    About the book: 2020 / "Guardian of the Watering Hole" Svetka and Marcel, brother and sister, found themselves without parents in the godforsaken town of Hills, lost among thickets and swamps. A random fellow traveler dissuaded them from going to the Hills: “You better not go there. They’re all dislocated there.” But what can happen in a quiet town?! The locals are hospitable and, obviously, very happy to see Svetka and Marcel: after all, few people come to these parts. The guys were accommodated in an empty hospital, fed deliciously and tried in every possible way to please. What lies behind intrusive hospitality? Why do very young children bring soft toys to Svetka as a gift? And it’s as if Marcel is being watched?.. Are the Hills really not what they seem?.. “The Color of Fear”...I don’t know what happened to her. She probably came too close to the line separating our world from the other. From where the missing people live. Those who disappear, forever lost in sunny days. Who dares to walk along paths that are not worth walking on. Along the paths of a world where the air is blue, a world where Blue Sedge grows and Goat River flows. A world where a strange and creepy creature, like a creature come to life in the night, roams. Why did this happen now? Why with us? I don't know. And I'm not sure I'll ever want to find out. Some mysteries are safer left unsolved.
