The Photographer in Search of Death: Stories of the Real and the Magical Paperback - 2017 - 1st Edition

by Michael Mirolla


From the publisher

Michael Mirolla, in The Photographer in Search of Death, tells us stories that blend the explicable with the inexplicable. As if a camel were actually passing through the eye of a needle, these stories pass what is commonplace through a hyper-realistic lens into the utterly mysterious. Houses have rooms that appear and disappear. Very real objects, invaded by an unbelievable force, become believably unreal. Streets filled with everyday individuals become - in our modern technological environment - ultra ordinary. What we wish to avoid becomes unavoidable. This is a world beyond the merely "magical" - this is a binary world of becoming.
