WHAT LIES IN THE CATACOMBS? Vampires, mutants, gangsters... and a bunch of kids!
Even a small town can hide big secrets, whether in plain sight or underground. The people of Klášterek know how to keep their secrets well - the underground labyrinth is something that is definitely not told to strangers. Not everyone knows the entrance to the catacombs of Klášterec and no one has mapped them properly. Why linger in dark and narrow corridors with no end, where red eyes glow from the darkness, vampires sleep in crypts and reminders of mutant stories drift through the stale air?
But the world above is sometimes even more ruthless. The Freaks, a bunch of kids who are too smart or too different (or both) to be overwhelmed by school and friends and forget the local legends, know their stuff. And when your debt-ridden family is threatened by the enforcers of a local boss, the monster underground can become an ally in the fight against the ultimate evil - humans. Labyrinth, from which it is difficult to find a way out, Kids, who are more cynical than adults, and shadows, who can be anything from a thug to a vampire...
Jana Rečková again comes up with a book that balances on the border between horror and fantasy, at a point between a children's story and the dry humour of social satire. You might think of The Right Five, you might think of Stranger Things, but one thing is certain: Whether you're helpless in the light of day or you're in command of an army, it doesn't matter in the catacombs. The underground is a separate world where completely different rules apply. And whoever is lost in it, whether friend or foe, may never get out again.
