Smrtka – Mountford Lee (2026)

One of the most notorious reportedly haunted places was a house that once stood in a picturesque town in southern England. The ghost of Mary Kane was said to have risen from the grave to lie in wait for more children. But that time has long since passed. No one has seen any ghosts here since the 1980s. Until now. David Ritter and his team are tasked with investigating the new claims. Are they merely fabrications, or has the Reaper truly returned? Does she once again hunger for innocent souls? The road to hell is often paved with good intentions. This is also true of the central character in the fifth installment of the horror series The Hunted: a father who wants only the best for his family, but is not always honest with everyone. When fate grants him exactly what he has been striving for, he has no idea that everything may turn out completely differently from what he imagined. “They fight desperately, they beg for mercy, the terrible hag reaps their lives. The Reaper is coming, the Reaper is coming.” This Czech-language horror novel combines a haunting investigation with a family tragedy.
