Stefan Kiesbye presents an assured novel about four friends coming of age on the Devil's Moor.
Four young friends grow up within a superstitious village situated on the Devil's Moor, an area featuring a grand manor house, a pub discussing revenants, and a forbidden old mill. Their innocent games lead them directly toward the dark secrets of the settlement. Stefan Kiesbye constructs this narrative with an eerily dispassionate style. The atmosphere is filled with fear and suspicion.
The setting occupies a village on the Devil's Moor, a place untouched by time and shrouded in superstition. It draws influence from the spirit of the Brothers Grimm and connects to the cinematic style of Michael Haneke's The White Ribbon and Wolf Rilla's Village of the Damned.
