The story of Krabat the sorbic sorcerer is merely a horror and suspense tale then a fairy tale. Its the story of a joung lad who searches for a job and comes to the watermill at the Black Water river near Hoyerswerda. He doesn't know, that everybody in this mill is cursed and doomed to die, and that their souls are sold to the devil himself. He wants merely a job for money and bread. The offer by the master miller, to learn some spells to make the hard days work easier, seems to be just a nice addition - till the first of the crew dies under mysterious circumstances. Krabat tries to escape from the black mill, but the curse binds him and he can't find a way out of the forrest. Every year one dies and another new candidate comes to the mill. And when the third year ends, Krabat gets aware that he is the next to die...

Do I need to tell, that I always loved this story? Guess not.
