Pesma mrtvim ljubavnicima

Helen Simpson

The story is known for its suggestive style, where tension builds gradually, more through atmosphere than through overt events. The ending remains partially open, which further enhances the sense of mystery and unease.

The plot follows a young married couple who move to an isolated house in the countryside. At first, everything seems peaceful and idyllic, but it is gradually revealed that the house hides a dark past connected to former lovers who ended up there tragically. As time passes, the relationship between the spouses becomes strained, and the line between reality and the supernatural becomes increasingly blurred.
