Tell us what's wrong and we'll take a look.
Thanks – we got it. We'll review and follow up if needed.
The world is not how we perceive it.
A blizzard may be the fury of a whale god. Intelligent bees watch our every move. Monsters lurk in the metro underpasses while others haunt our dreams. Are we asleep in frozen sarcophagi, en route to a new planet? Should we swallow jellyfish, drink colors, or repaint the sky?
This book has the answers. But in return, it might steal your heart.
Black Hole Heart and Other Stories contains 13 speculative tales by the award-winning author and illustrator K.A. Teryna, translated from Russian.
