Autor/-in: Riyan Septa

Riyan Septa. is a storyteller drawn to the forgotten corners of the world-places where silence speaks louder than words, and memory lingers like mist over still water. His writing blends folklore, Southern Gothic atmosphere, and coming-of-age grit to explore the spaces between what's seen and what's believed. When he isn't conjuring ghosts and shadows on the page, Riyan is a quiet observer of people, places, and old things with stories to tell. He believes that every town has its secrets, every child carries questions, and sometimes, the river knows more than it lets on. The Boy by the River. is his haunting debut-a tribute to strange friendships, restless spirits, and the courage it takes to face what hides in the dark.
