Haralambi Markov

"Markov moves fluidly between pitch-black humor and deeply felt depictions of grief, and between the mythological and the viscerally embodied. They find in Slavic legend a rich vocabulary for queer desire, loss, and transformation. The result is a collection that refuses to look away from darkness while still, against the odds, reaching for hope." -Publishers Weekly, starred review"A perfect twilight read, this book will stick with readers as they devour story after story (just as some of Markov's characters devour their prey).
A stunning, thrilling, and eerie collection of short stories that will delight readers of gothic fiction." -Kirkus"Stylish, macabre, and startling as a cigarette burn .
