Ronald Malfi

    28. apríl 1977

    Ronald Malfi je autorom hororov a thrillerov, ktoré sa vyznačujú intímnym a lyrickým štýlom. Často sa ponára do tém rozbitých rodín a stratených či zmätených identít, skúmajúc temné stránky ľudskej psychiky. Jeho príbehy sa zameriavajú skôr na postavy a ich vnútorné svety než na samotný dej, pričom často pracuje s nespolehlivými rozprávačmi a nejednoznačnými zakončeniami. Malfiho diela poskytujú čitateľom pohlcujúci a emocionálne rezonujúci zážitok v rámci žánru.

      Dlouhých dvacet let utíká Jamie Warren před temnotou. Pronásleduje ho trauma z dětství a vyčítá si, že se otočil zády ke svému postiženému bratrovi. Jenže pak se díky sledu podivných událostí znovu setká nejen se svým bratrem, ale také se dvěma kamarády z dětství. Všichni mají neodbytný pocit, že je dohromady svedl osud. A všichni začnou vzpomínat na jedno léto kdysi dávno, na prapodivná kouzla, která je v hlubokém lese učil ještě prapodivnější muž, a na strašlivý čin, který je dodnes budí ze spaní. Tito outsideři a životní ztroskotanci se teď musejí semknout, vyrovnat se svou minulosti a pustit se po stopě netvora. Černý jícen je krvavé a mysteriózní hororové drama inspirované skutečným případem vraždy dvanáctileté dívky, k němuž došlo v roce 2014 v americkém státě Wisconsin. Ronald Malfi je rozený vypravěč a někdy je označován za novodobého nástupce Stephena Kinga.
