The disappearance of the small town of Olšiny

Psychological horror in a masterful performance. Jaroslav Havlicek, the master of Czech psychology, is associated with horror thanks to his novels The Invisible and Petrol Lamps. But Havlicek wrote a number of other interesting and disturbing stories that are published in this audio form. The author, influenced by spiritualism and clairvoyance, portrayed the predetermined fate of his heroes in a number of stories. Under tragicomic exaggeration, he reveals their deep pain and feelings. The title novella, The Decline of Olšiny, depicts the last few days of a small town in which the inhabitants learn from a guardian angel that God has died and now everything terrible is threatening them. The evil powers begin to attack. Life and death begin to mingle, the dead rise from their graves, dark powers take over. Bizarre things keep piling up until the final duel between angels and devils. The balladic and predetermined dark fate of the heroes of all his stories is typical of Jaroslav Havlíček. The performers Mark Kristián Hochman and Kryštof Bartos took up the reading with a special passion for this type of horror literature.
