Project

My manuscript’s current working title is The Leamon-eater Vampires. I am currently realizing one short story each month that appears in the feuilleton section of 168 óra public-cultural magazine. However, I have more ideas that I’m willing to elaborate so that I could send them to well-known reviews and show them to Faberlull’s audience. I especially have one exact idea that I would like to work on during the residency program to be able to pour it in the form of a short story: it’s about a dead turul (Hungarian mythical bird) found in the center of a coutryman’s land.
