Slovak speculative fiction is still unknown to the world and no anthology of science fiction, fantasy and horror stories in English written by Slovak authors has been published yet. We have decided to change this fact and introduce some Slovak works of these genres to the world. What you are getting is a second collection of short stories by Slovak authors who joined the literary competition Fantasy Award.
The collection also contains a short story from Juraj Cervenak – the most successful writer of fantasy genre in Slovakia.
The cover was created by Slovak illustrator Martin Plsko to one of the stories.
