Aleksandr Matyukhin is the book “the Mirror maze”

About book project “the Mirror” we have been told. This is a series of so-called “gender” of collectors: under one cover, here there are two authors (male and female), two approaches, two points of view. Readers will find a set of paired stories, echoing each other ideas or topics. Two of the author’s perspective on the same problem. In short, a very interesting idea.

Official abstract:

Welcome to the mirror maze! In this book each story is a step deeper into the maze. Thirteen pairs of stories written by a man and a woman, thirteen senses, reflected in the mirrors through the prism of human beginning. The ancients believed that the sense can be realized as the image of a deity or monster. Maybe your fear to unleash the Gorgon, and love will revive the psyche?
In the maze of this book is greed kills children, and mercy can stop the epidemic; inspiration makes you fly even when wings was found at the dump, and the fear can become the seed from which will sprout new life…
Among the reflections of feelings can wander forever or find a way in a jiffy. There are no rules. Be careful entering a mirror maze – it is likely that you will not be able to get out of it.

The book, as you might guess from the photo above, already crawled out from the shop. Someone even managed to touch. Slowly “Mirror maze” will go away stores across the country and appearing on major shopping Internet sites. In General, prepare your money. In the meantime, the Area of Horror managed to get an exclusive comment from Aleksandra Matyukhina:

What to write about “Mirror maze”?
It can be interesting to fans of horror? First of all, that under the cover hides one of the authors of the horror wave, which gave to the court the reader the different sides of his creativity.
Some statistics:
six of the thirteen stories are related to horror. Six fantasy in different variations (sometimes quite dark). One story – suddenly – a severe domestic realism;
– two short stories were published in the journal of Darker and one out in the anthology “the Dark side of the road”;
– several stories participated in the contest “Baker’s dozen”. This is last year’s finalist – “Chemistry”, and the dark and mysterious history of “Change” (the collection included full, revised version, the volume increased almost two times);
– the story “Temptation” was sold in electronic form as a bonus to the anthology “the worst book of 2015”, and now, revised, got to paper publications.
It is worth noting that the “companion” collection, Sophia Roldugin, is also able to write pretty grim stylistic things. To the horror they can not be attributed, but as you know, the size of the horror in the texts is determined by the individual reading 🙂
