Coffinful of nightmares. Thirteen terrifying tales

If a novel is long and torrid love affair, full of ups and downs and highs and lows, then a short story is just a quick kiss from a stranger in the dark - a fleeting, but intense experience that grips the heart, fires up the blood and lingers in the memory.

This collection of darkly disturbing tales will suck you into the weird and wonderful world of the author's imagination, populated by vengeful witches, ravenous zombies, serial killers, alien monsters, bloodthirsty androids and even a man who feeds on dreams.

Emil Minchev is born in 1984 in Sofia, Bulgaria, and has published six novels and a short story collection in his native country, ranging from horror to sci-fi and everything in between. He has also translated more than forty books from English into Bulgarian, among them Bram Stoker's Dracula, F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby, Diana Wynne Jone's Castle in the Air and Guillermo Del Toro's The Fall.
