Officiel Death & Other Stories (KŪNAI) by Vidas Morkunas NEUF

“...it suddenly rushed out onto the road, as if chased, and leapt straight into my arms. That is how I ended up taking it home.”

An enthralling selection of shorter stories in which, among many other things besides, we encounter death as a supernatural beast-presence trapped inside a box only to escape and cause mayhem in a local village; a darkly comic fable concerning a father and his son set in a world where children take on the forms of different animals as part of their formal education; and a series of micro fiction stations, or vignettes, recounting different scenes, characters or dreams on an implied narrative journey.
