Mysterious Stories

Generations of readers have known the Foglar-esque world of boyish adventures set in mysterious urban corners.

In a more modern setting, contemporary young writer Vojtěch Matocha brings a group of young people—and not just boys—to the mysterious corners of a city district called Prašina.

Genre-wise, it’s a sci-fi story, a thrilling read with illustrations that beautifully capture the story’s mysterious atmosphere.

The book was so successful among young readers that the author wrote a loose sequel, Prašina: Black Mercurite.
