“Black Ripple” is a collection of two novellas: dark, tense stories bound together by a common theme—the reckoning for what has been done.

For those who appreciate atmospheric folkloric fantasy and profound women’s prose.

Ekaterina Shitova, author of “The Rejected” and “Forest Enchantresses,” is one of the notable writers of the Runet working in the genre of rural mysticism.

Water keeps every memory: a broken sigh of the enslaved—and the rustle of a truth that has sunk.

Matryona will have to face a domestic Koshchei, whose power over the family line cannot be broken by blade or tears. And by the protected lake, where unburied sins gather, lives a girl whose fate is forever bound to an ancient water curse.

Two novellas—and one bottomless depth. To survive, they will have to make a choice whose echoes will spread across the water in black ripples—touching the past, changing the future, and waking what has slept for centuries at the bottom.
