Produktbeschreibung
The phantoms of the foot-bridge and other stories immerses readers in a mountain world where human emotion collides with the supernatural. Anchored by tales of spectral encounters on a fabled footbridge, the narrative uses eerie landscapes and haunting memories to probe the complexities of grief, longing, and unresolved attachment. The stillness of the mountains becomes a space where the dead linger and the living search for answers. A solitary traveler arrives in this quiet region and is drawn into the lives of its people, where silence conceals deep wounds and old tragedies wait to be unearthed. The elusive figures said to cross the bridge at twilight are not merely ghosts but manifestations of remorse and forgotten sorrow. As tensions rise between those bound by the past and those searching for connection, the unseen takes on powerful emotional weight. The story moves fluidly between subtle psychological unrest and moments of confrontation, uncovering how love becomes inseparable from absence, and how memory shapes the boundary between life and death. This collection does not rely on spectacle but instead uses suggestion, atmosphere, and emotional resonance to deliver a reflection on the unseen forces that shape human experience.
