In her debut novella Mazi, Koji A. Dae takes readers on a journey into the deep, dark isolation of the Bulgarian woods…and the even darker realm of the human psyche. Blending folklore, horror, and erotica infused with psychological depth, Dae crafts a tale both shocking and inevitable. The novella blurs boundaries between reality and imagination, desire and dread, with an emotional impact that readers won’t soon forget.
