When I was little, I used to lie in bed at night looking at images in my encyclopedia, of monstrous fish which live at the bottom of the oceans. I was oblivious of the underlying meaning of this...
Regarding its theme, “A Surgeon’s Tale” is alluding to the literature of the Grand Guignol, the french 19th century horror theatre. Dixon consciously constructs this tie, by both referring to the...

Thank you both!
Yes, I have a very Greek accent ^_^
Awesome :D
I hope you will find it of interest.
Hi, I am not sure if this is the subforum to post this... It's a series I have created, with hypothetical interviews with Kafka, where he (well...myself...) gives info on themes of some of his works,...
Hi, this is a brief prose-poem of mine :)
A man looks outside and thinks: “This street is dirty, and how repulsive are the expressions of the passers-by. No sense of unity in their crooked...
I was later asked to prepare a second article, which in the end was also accepted and will be printed soon :D
And i translated the one already printed, if anyone feels like having a look at what...
I have been told it does, and assume it is so indeed. Furthermore it is a horrible idea to translate your own stories, in a language which is not your native one.
But if you feel like it you can...

Because i am one. :)
I decided to translate a very small bit of mine published (not one of the printed stories, this one exists just online) a while back. My English (moreso when i am translating some literature, and...

Just noting that yesterday my (probably) best-ever until now published story appeared in a printed magazine.
They had three typographical errors, two of which are insignificant, but the other is...
Thank you :D
No final decision yet (they have read it for nearly 2 months now...). However i now have 20 printed short stories in lit magazines so i guess i will get a book contract soon anyway...

Pic taken by Randolph Carter (part of his cords can be seen in the distance). Will begin the descent to the place marked by our calculations, soon. :)
El acercamiento a Almotásim, which is mostly translated to English as "The Approach to Al-Mu'tasim", was the first short story that Borges created as part of his decision to move to prose from...
I had reason to examine a motif in a story of mine i wrote yesterday. Basically the story is about complexity being increased. In a way it seems that, even if a person (you, myself, someone else) can...
I am not sure from what point of view you are approaching this, Cacian. From some points of view it is evident that something which can be termed as a "dark side" exists in our world, since people...
Thank you...
