This is the unforgettable collection of strange stories that you have been waiting for. Zdravka Evtimova is a sorceress of the mind’s eye, conjuring eerie, uneasy realities at once bleak and brooding, haunting and beautiful; punctuated by indelible imagery of the highest weirdness. These stories inhabit spellbinding realms of the magical, the mysterious, the fantastic, and the unsettling. Evtimova has kept Bulgaria up all night for years with her dark and shatteringly original stories. Now it’s our turn. Prepare yourself for reading her imagination. The inspired storytelling that defines these unique tales will enthrall you, delight you, and envelope you in a mist-like mood of the surreal.
“These metamorphic stories are a delight, and full of romance, gentle humour, mystery and surprise! There’s a feeling of the modern folk tale about many of them: our mundane world becomes magically transformed, and we escape into realms of the symbolic and surreal. Flights of fancy become deeper psychological explorations, but don’t be alarmed, as we’re still home in time for tea!”
—A J Dalton, author of Green Man Ascendant and Empire of the Saviours
