In Lost Country and Other Divergences

An expedition into the Tunguska meteor site discovers they may be subjects, not observers, in a terrifying experiment. A disgraced music journalist investigates an obscure Norwegian black metal band and uncovers something far more sinister than he bargained for. A Cairo police inspector finds old videotapes that set him on a collision course with a malevolent force older than the pyramids. Outlaws fleeing a botched robbery become prey to an unseen hunter in the wilderness.

Reality fractures along invisible fault lines, and through these cracks seep horrors that defy comprehension. In these twelve tales of the weird and metaphysical, ordinary lives become battlegrounds where the supernatural and mundane collide with devastating consequences.

In Lost Country and Other Divergences showcases stories that span continents and decades - from Cold War Vienna to the English countryside, from prestigious American suburbs to the remote wilderness. Author Damir Salkovic explores how otherworldly malevolence bleeds into the everyday, transforming ordinary protagonists into unwilling participants in scenarios beyond their understanding.

These tales blend existential terror with elements of noir and crime fiction, where humanity's darkest impulses meet forces of universal indifference. Survival depends on navigating realities that no longer follow comprehensible rules, where the familiar transforms into something unspeakably alien.

Take a tour of the lost country, where the uncanny lurks in corporate boardrooms and childhood memories alike, and the void gazes back with inhuman intelligence.
