Book Synopsis

The Dusk Gorge, Bulgaria, has for thousands of years been the home of the Samodivas, ancient entities on the prowl to kill, or occasionally cure, human beings. A famous mathematician, Professor Margaret Stan, formulates a hypothesis: the Samodivas are an extraterrestrial civilization that inhabits the human subconscious. The most powerful Samodiva is Death. John Cole, the police chief, firmly believes the hypothesis to be true. He is sure that he can find Death - and he knows how to destroy it. But what Death hides is far different than anything he could have expected.

Review Quotes

"A surrealistic collision between otherworldly magical realism and folkloric storytelling. This bizarre tale plumbs the depths of the human condition while revealing this world, and others, in the strange green light of preternatural technologies. Delightfully unreliable narrators will taunt the reader into forgotten occult wastelands where the lines of life and death blur. A must read for fans of the Strugatsky brothers and Anna Kavan."
