Mockingbird at Dawn. Book 2

– The continuation of the captivating urban fantasy in the spirit of Neil Gaiman's stories, inspired by the works of French surrealist poets. The second part of a two-volume set.

– A story with elements of steampunk, mysticism, and a dark... atmosphere. Inside: revolution and civil war, dreams and monsters from fairy tales in reality, and – among all this – the search for truth.

– Dmitry Kolodan is the author of the books «The Other Side», «Time of the Barbegazi», and the series «House of Night». A laureate of several awards in the field of fantasy literature: «RosCon», «Interpresscon», «Wanderer», «Debut», and the ESFS Award. A participant in Boris Strugatsky's literary seminar.

– «The dark tale of Dmitry Kolodan is the substance from which, as one poet said, our dreams are woven. A rope stretched over an abyss of nightmares. A kaleidoscope of allusions, snippets of familiar melodies, and fragments of recognizable quotes. A labyrinth of a faun and a refuge for wanderers. This cannot be explained in just a few words, but trust me – it has to be read. And in the most dreadful places, through the lines, the gentle smile of the author, like that of the Cheshire Cat, will emerge. And it won't be so frightening anymore», – Asya Shevchenko, literary critic, editor.

– Stunning design: a cover with an atmospheric illustration by the artist Akvartis, colored endpapers, high-quality typographic paper, and stylish layout.
