The Saligen Curse - Reading at the Knottnkino

The Saligen curse - reading at the Knottnkino:

Life on the farm up high is hard, and since the death of his parents, one misfortune follows the next. But that's just fine with Veit. Let the storm tear his roof apart, let the rain drown the mowing and let lightning strike his cattle. None of this will ever be enough to wipe away his guilt. The only thing that worries him is the gift of carrion from the savage, which his brother has demanded in his wantonness. When one morning a young girl crouches under the wagon drawbar, scratched and bloody, everything changes.


An alpine fantasy short story about wild men and salty women, the forest demons from the South Tyrolean legends.
