Explore the weird and wonderful
This eclectic collection of short stories is brimming with engaging narratives spanning a variety of genres-from fantasy and science fiction to satire and absurdist humour. Imprinted with a unique voice that's both playful and poignant, each story transforms the everyday into the fantastical, wielding sharp wit and profound human insights.
At the heart of this anthology lies "The Debut Project", a riveting novella weaving together elements of fantasy, crime, and comedy, and accompanied by rich illustrations by Ilia Bagaev. Set in the mysterious City N, the story follows the intertwined lives of Felix and Kolya, their friend Nina, and their cat Moros.
Unwittingly running afoul of a local kingpin, their ordinary existence takes an extraordinary turn. As Felix and Kolya tackle their debut engineering project to clear their debts and Nina struggles to keep her business afloat, they encounter a series of surprising events that test their bravery and loyalty. With its intriguing characters and gripping plot, "The Debut Project" spins a tale of friendship, ambitions, and resilience in a fantasy city steeped in crime.

About the author

Vanya Bagaev is a writer of literary, speculative, and experimental fiction from Tulubaika. He writes about weird characters in whimsical situations, employing a lot of unhinged dialogue, absurd and dark humour, dreamlike sequences, hysterical surrealism, magical realism, sudden philosophical and psychological romps, stylised prose, often infused with poetry, witty comedy, poignant twists, Russianness, logic and lunacy, literary anarchy, magic degeneracy, and many other sublime matters. 'Deleted Scenes from the Bestselling Utopian Novel' is his first novel. All Vanya's work is available on his website Nova Nevédoma.
