The Second City: book launch of Bloody Žižkov

The evening will include the launch of the short story book Krvavý Žižkov.

The book is a follow-up to the successful book Bloody Bronx, published in 2020. Just as four years ago, leading authors of the Czech literary scene were inspired by the barrels, reports from the Black Chronicle from the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, which covered various criminal cases in the Žižkov area. A total of 14 authors have contributed to the book Bloody Žižkov: Simona Bohatá, Anna Bolavá, Aleš Palán, Lucie Faulerová, Petra Hůlová, Pavla Horáková, Sylva Fischerová, Stanislav Biler, Markéta Pilátová, Radka Denemarková, Jakuba Katalpa, Jaroslav Rudiš, Jiří Padevět, Miloš Urban.

Adam Štech accompanied each story with his illustrations.
