From John Elizabeth Stintzi, the mind that created the daringly bizarre novel My Volcano, comes an electrifying collection of strange and dark tales. In the surreal, often precarious realities of Bad Houses, a doctor discovers a double-edged cure for the Ebola virus, a college student loses a different body part each time they return home for the summer, Midas's hairdresser strives to keep his secrets, and a young girl develops a fascination with the trolls who harvest her father's pumpkin patch. At once humourous and horrifying, these stories will inevitably take residence in your mind.

In the mists of antiquity, long before recorded history, an advanced civilization flourished upon the Earth—the enigmatic Anunnaki. Originating from an unknown realm, these celestial beings established outposts across the planet, including the verdant continent of Lemuria and the island of Atlantis. Their influence wove an indelible thread through the tapestry of human history.

What happens when a man tries to abolish desire from his life — and discovers desire has other plans? In this fearless, fast-paced erotic dark comedy, Puchy Mushkin attempts the impossible: to purge himself of every dream, ambition, and craving. The result is a cascade of hilariously catastrophic misadventures that blur the line between absurdity, scandal, intimacy, and self-destruction. Both wildly funny and provocatively candid, The Tyranny of Desire is brilliantly written smut — a true sexistential masterpiece.

Thoroughly absurd and yet all-too-real, My Way to Canossa follows four journeys that re-imagine the Middle Ages amid the political and technological changes of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. It isn't an historical novel. It's an exploration of how the present uses the past.

Nessuno si aspettava il Contrappasso. Eppure, in una giornata simile a tante altre, gli esseri umani avevano iniziato a morire in modi violenti e atroci. Per motivi sconosciuti uccidere un animale, che fosse un insetto, un mammifero, un pesce, significava condividerne, all’istante, la stessa sorte, e perdere la vita nello stesso modo. Gli eventi di quel giorno sono ormai storia, e il mondo a suo modo si è adattato alla nuova normalità seguendo il Piano di Sopravvivenza, fra squadre di Arginatori, sacrifici al Dovere, punizioni al Ritmo Delta, isole fantasma e colonie di ribelli.

In the beginning, GOD created the Earth—a profound statement unless you know that by "GOD," I mean the General Observable Dimension corporation, and by "Earth," I refer to their immensely profitable simulation known as human existence. Among GOD's lesser-known creations is Richard, a nobody to everyone on Earth except his beloved wife and children. After his sudden demise, Richard finds himself in a transformed version of Hell—an unlikely utopia built upon a foundation of smothered fire and brimstone by its inhabitants.

"In the Penal Colony" is a short story by Franz Kafka written in German in October 1914, revised in November 1918, and first published in October 1919. As in some of Kafka's other writings, the narrator in this story seems detached from, or perhaps numbed by, events that one would normally expect to be registered with horror. Internal clues and the setting on an island suggest Octave Mirbeau's The Torture Garden as an influence.

As it is often said in fairy tales and historical analyses, Maša's childhood years were a time when empires were falling—the time of the war in Croatia, 1991.
