Il silenzio dell'acqua
Fourteen supernatural tales where reality slips away to reveal mysterious entities.
The collection operates at the intersection of the fantastic and horror, presenting a curated selection of fourteen distinct narratives. These stories are not merely standalone exercises in fear but are woven together by a pervasive sense of displacement. The text examines how mundane elements like water dripping or grass growing can become conduits for the unknown. By including both new and reedited published works, the book offers a comprehensive view of Poropat’s approach to the genre. The focus remains on the gradual erosion of the real world, allowing strange beings to emerge from the shadows. This structure allows the reader to experience a consistent mood of quiet dread throughout the entire volume.
This work sits within the Italian tradition of fantastic and horror fiction, published in 2013 by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. It reflects a period where independent publishing allowed for niche supernatural narratives to reach audiences without mainstream commercial constraints.

Matteo Poropat delivers a compelling collection that inhabits the liminal space between reality and the supernatural. The work excels in building a pervasive sense of displacement, where infested houses and hungry angels emerge from quiet dread. By focusing on the slow slipping away of the real world, the narratives create an unsettling atmosphere defined by sounds spreading across grass and silent dripping. This approach suits readers who prefer psychological unease over physical confrontation. The blend of previously published and new reedited works provides a thorough glimpse into the author's style, making it a strong choice for enthusiasts of dark fantasy and gothic horror who value mood and surreal imagery.
