Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

In The Other Hand of Midas, each short story becomes a mirror, or a trap, where the ancient myth of turning everything into gold is subverted and reimagined. The author explores the hidden side of the legend: the hand that loses everything, the hand that accepts loss, or the hand that discovers a different kind of power, one that is unsettling, piercing, and unexpectedly human.With tales rich in symbolism, irony, and quiet philosophical tension, this collection examines greed, ambition, desire, and the fragile illusions we build around what we value. Each story invites readers to look beyond the surface and to consider the strange wealth that emerges from what seems to have vanished.A book for readers who love brief but impactful stories (literary, sharp, and subtly mythical) where reality and fantasy intertwine, and every twist reveals a deeper truth.
