Ibronka And The Devil by Abigail Tulenko in Corvid Queen

Ibronka prays for a sweetheart, even if he is a devil. And one comes, in a sheepskin vest. But despite all there is nothing to him; when they embrace Ibronka’s hand goes right through him.

She takes a thread from his vest and follows it, to the very chapel she attends. And there she looks through the keyhole. And what she sees cannot be told.

A cruel and mysterious fairy tale, about death and secrets and devils and how the thread to a sweetheart may be tangled.
