If you like short stories and good fiction then you'll love this author

Do you enjoy good fiction? Do you like that mixture of mystery and fear when reading E. A. Poe stories? Add some dark humor to those stories and you’ll get a Zoran Zivkovic novel.
Have you heard about Zoran Zivkovic? He’s an author, university professor, essayist, researcher and translator from Belgrade, Serbia. He’s books have been published and awarded worldwide multiple times, adapted into dramatic forms and also received a significant international critical reception. Between 1993 and early 2016 he wrote 21 books of fiction which were published in 81 foreign editions, 20 languages and 23 countries. He also won the World Fiction Award in 2003.

I’ll make a brief description to some of his prose stories:
To differentiate individual stories, the author uses visual distinction of texts. The visual separation of paragraphs and the deliberate breaking of genre boundaries indicate the connection of these stories to postmodernist streams in literature. Zivkovic plays skillfully with our minds leading us through a series of deductions and fearsome insights about the fate of a hero in every story. What is common to most stories is the utter indetermination; the writer makes us to conclude what exactly happened at the end of each story and what was the faith of its characters. The shift of feelings: anger, irony, humor, horror, elements of optimism, pessimism and fantastic wonders are what attracts attention and stimulates the imagination of the readers. The fantasy of Zoran Zivkovic opens up new facets, keeps us constantly focused and chained to the book while waiting impatiently to experience new fantastic worlds.

These are some of the books that I strongly recommend:

And of course, my favorite two books by Zoran Zivkovic:

Hope you'll enjoy it!
