The Smell of Fear is Cinnamon

Camilla always thought that her demons were just a metaphor. But one day she learns that spirits and gods exist. Some eat children and tourists, others sell flowers and bake croissants. Convinced that she is going insane, Camilla flees to the first seaside town she finds. Nightmares follow her, as does a strange man with a piercing gaze. They lead the girl to work in a bakery for the gods – and into a new amazing world where magic mixes with flour and sugar, horrors hide behind wonders, and the sleep of reason truly brings forth monsters. However, Camilla will have to do more than just find her place in this world. Someone is brutally killing the bakery's divine clients. And when Camilla finds herself over yet another corpse, she realizes that she is involved in this in the most direct way… The start of a new series of cozy horrors: books where cozy horrors and terrible coziness await you! Perfect autumn reading for fans of Terry Pratchett and Max Frei. Mythology of various peoples: the heroine begins her journey in Moscow, but then finds herself in sunny Turkey and beautiful Barcelona, where she sells croissants to the gods and meets the local evil. Atmospheric design by the iconic artist and writer Polina Graf, illustrator of the Russian-language editions of Terry Pratchett. Blue foil on the cover, atmospheric layout with dynamic design elements, and shimmering echeverias on the endpapers.
