Overview

Enter a whimsical realm of gender-fluid deities, leprechauns in distress, shape-shifting cyber insects, scorpions that hatch out of broken human hearts, and sea monsters that make entire planets spin backwards.

Fast paced and irreverently funny, the eclectic story cycle spans multiple genres, from fantasy to horror and science fiction. Inspired by the classic narrative styles of One Thousand and One Nights and medieval travelogues, bestselling author Yanko Tsvetkov reinvents the fairy tale and builds an imaginary world full of wonder, mystery and humor.

The text is accompanied by unique, eye-catching illustrations created by Alphadesigner, Tsvetkov's equally creative alter ego.

About the Author

Yanko Tsvetkov is a Bulgarian-born interdisciplinary artist who lives in Spain, writes in English, and publishes books in France, Germany, Russia, Italy, Turkey, and China. He has visited several continents, traversed thick jungles, picnicked in scorching deserts, and booked a few taxis in crowded metropolises. He leads a second life as a caped superhero who fights prejudice with his giant laser.

Alphadesigner is Yanko Tsvetkov's multidisciplinary alter-ego, specialized in visual arts like illustration, typography, photography, cartography, and book design. Among his most notable projects is Mapping Stereotypes-a vast collection of satirical maps that became an instant Internet sensation in 2010 and continues to inspire cartographic memes to this day. Alphadesigner has received worldwide acclaim for his typographic reinvention of medieval Cyrillic and Glagolitic scripts. Since 2011, he is the cover designer of the German literary magazine Krachkultur. He habitually illustrates, designs, and typesets all his books.
