Really sucky as places-to-live-out-the-rest-of-your-eternal-existence. Very little elbow room, and the internet connection is notoriously slow. Plus, they're a real pain in the butt to get out of, especially when you've gone non-corporeal.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Tomas was six, someone-something-tried to drown him. And burn him to a crisp. Tomas survived, but whatever was trying to kill him freaked out his parents enough to convince them to move from Slovakia to the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNow sixteen-year-old Tomas and his family are back in Slovakia, and that something still lurks somewhere. Nearby. Ready to drown him again and imprison his soul in a teacup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThen there's the fire víla, the water ghost, the pitchfork-happy city folk, and Death herself who are all after him.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAll this sounds a bit comical, unless the one haunted by water ghosts and fire vílas or doing time in a cramped, internet-deprived teacup is you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIf Tomas wants to survive, he'll have to embrace the meaning behind the Slovak proverb, So smrťou ešte nik zmluvu neurobil.
