A nice collection of short stories inspired by recent events. Some of the stories are of the science fiction genre, others are just dark or humorous tales with or without relation to the current moment, but most were written under orders of “quarantine” during the unusual “pandemic” period that started on February 2020 and still continues on March 2021.

A full-color book, with different stories ranging from tragedy to dark humour. The stories include the following classics: “The Story of a Mother” (Hans Christian Andersen)”The Jewish Girl” (Hans Christian Andersen), “One-Eye, Two-Eyes, Three-Eyes” (Brothers Grimm)”Prince Verdeprato” (Giambattista Basile)”Clever Hans” (Brothers Grimm)”The Shadow” (Hans Christian Andersen)”Bluebeard” (Charles Perrault). The illustrations are beautiful colourized photographs from several German expressionist films such as “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari”, “Der Golem”, “Metropolis”, “Nosferatu”, “Waxworks”, among other films from the 1920s.
