WINNER OF THE LEIPZIG BOOK FAIR PRIZE'A very addictive short story collection' GUARDIANA guest at a New Year's Eve rooftop party finds a parallel universe in the building next door. A woman discovers her boyfriend's family are all made of cookie dough. A man bites into a bar of Alpine chocolate to realise it's infested with maggots. Mini and Miki live in Vienna. They are not from here, but they try their best to fit in and carve themselves the perfect middle class routine. Nevertheless - and perhaps because of it - there's something not quite right about the place. Danger seems to lurk in every corner: a family breakfast, an office cubicle, a well-deserved holiday. Minihorror is a surreal, delightful and terrifying collection about the agents of fear in our society from the most original and imaginative of a new generation of European writers - to read it is to feel at once caught-out and understood. Barbi Markovic dares to ask: could the real horror story be life itself?
