Behind the Outside

by Milan Jaker, Milan Jaker (Illustrator)

Overview

Danny and his friends are anything but enthusiastic when they learn that a school excursion to an old villa in Nartla is ­planned shortly before the summer vacation. He realizes quickly, ­however, that something isn't right in the villa. He hears voices from rooms, which are empty, finds messages that are carved into the floor and is chased by a creature that looks like his best friend Ed.

While he desperately tries to find out whom he can trust, he is unaware that he is drawn into a centuries-old doom loop.

About the Author

Milan Jaker, born in Schleswig-Holstein in 2004, graduated with a vocational diploma in June 2022. Since his childhood, he has already been active as an author, and at the age of ten, one of his texts was published in the Austrian magazine Augustin for the first time.

Apart from his gloomy creativity, the scary components as well as his aim to encourage the readers to sophisticated thinking for themselves are in the foreground of Milan Jaker‘s debut novel. Stephen King, Dan Brown and H. P. Lovecraft count among his literary examples.

The story is substantially characterized by Milan Jaker‘s impressive drawings. Since his early childhood, he has regularly taken art classes at the Muthesius University of Fine Arts and Design in Kiel, where he has created scenic illustrations in dealing intensely, for example, with Goethe‘s Faust. First illustration orders were portraits of composers for the learning booklets Epochen der Musik, published by the AOL-Verlag Hamburg (2018 and 2019).
