    "Glad you are open-minded most people just say I'm mad to believe in the star people!" said the Chicken. 
    "I believe in aliens!" said Blake. "You do?" said the Chicken his eyes widening. 
    "Of course we are aliens how could I not believe in us?" said the not-so-human Blake. 
    "I am not a Flat Earther or a hollow Earther. Nobody lives in the center of any planet," said Blake. 
    "Blake the Star People are real!" said the Masked Chicken. "No they aren't real still!" said Blake. 
    The Chicken pushed a News Paper at Blake."Aliens from the center of the Earth take the Human race to court for ownership of the planet!" Blake read. "Did you get this made as a joke?" asked Blake. "I never thought I'd say this to anyone!" Blake said, "Take me to your leader?" 
    "Who are you human I don't bother my leader with the rabble," said the star person.. 
    "I am Alexandrite Argent the Chief Justice of Sapphirus Argent," said Blake. 
    "Whose that?" asked the star person. "He's my Grandfather he's only the Emperor of the Universe!" 
    said Blake getting impatient with the star person. "I will judge your case," said Blake. 
    "You are biased," said the supreme leader."Yes but without me, your case cannot be legally judged I am the only one who can judge Planetary cases," said Blake. "What's wrong with him," said the supreme leader seeing Lance's Emo son. 
    "Oh him he's just the Prince of Darkness," said Lance off-handedly. "Hey!" snapped the offended Emo. "Why are everyone happy these strangers want to evict humans from the Earth?" Jnr asked.

    Drawing on both lived experience and cultural memory, Norma Dunning brings together six powerful short stories centered on modern-day Inuk characters in Tainna. Ranging from homeless to extravagantly wealthy, from spiritual to jaded, from young to elderly, and even from alive to deceased, Dunning’s characters are united by shared feelings of alienation, displacement, and loneliness resulting from their experiences in southern Canada. In Tainna?meaning “the unseen ones” and pronounced Da?e?nn?a?a fraught reunion between sisters Sila and Amak ends in an uneasy understanding. From the spirit realm, Chevy Bass watches over his imperiled grandson, Kunak. And in the title story, the broken-hearted Bunny wanders during a freezing night onto a golf course, where, later, a flock of geese stand vigil until her body is discovered by a kind stranger. Norma Dunning’s masterful storytelling uses humor and incisive detail to create compelling characters who discover themselves in a hostile land where prejudice, misogyny, and inequity are most often found hidden in plain sight. There, they must rely on their wits, artistic talent, senses of humor, and spirituality­ for survival, and there, too, they find solace in shining moments of reconnection with their families and communities.

    A collection to whet the appetite of anyone wishing to learn more about a region rich in history, folklore and (her)stories. Telling it like a woman does not mean literature for women only: it provides an insight into half of humanity, a window onto the lives of citizens who work, love and develop their inner lives. This collection brings together the voices of a wide selection of prize-winning and established authors:
    Balkan Bombshells brings together established Serbian and Montenegrin writers like Svetlana Slapšak, Jelena Lengold (winner of the EU Prize for Literature 2013), Dana Todorović and Olja Kneżević (author of Catherine the Great and the Small, Istros 2020), together with a select group of up-coming writers: Marijana Čanak (1982, Serbia): "Awakened" (Probuđena) follows the early years of a girl from a very simple background, who discovers she has extrasensory powers. A gruesome fascination with biology allows her to attend high school, where she ends up sewing a voodoo doll to take revenge on a molesting teacher. Marijana Dolić (1990, Bosnia-Herzegovina & Serbia): "Notes from the attic" (Zapisi iz potkrovlja), originally diary entries, are intense mediatations on faith, love and hope – poignant testimony to a struggle to cope in difficult times. Ana Miloš (1992, Serbia): "Peace" (Mir) portrays a woman struggling with disparate feelings after her only child dies. She has long since broken up with the child's father. She enjoys finally having time for herself, but she has to confront accusations of people around her that she is heartless. Once a mother, always a mother? Katarina Mitrović (1991, Serbia):"Small death" (Mala smrt). We are introduced to a fearful young woman who is far from happy with life, and we follow her on a summer holiday by the Adriatic, where a halfhearted romantic adventure takes a scary turn. Andrea Popov Miletić (1985, Serbia):|: excerpt from the novel Young pioneers, we are seaweed (Pioniri maleni, mi smo morska trava; 2019). This stand-alone excerpt is a poetic flashback to her childhood in the province of Vojvodina in the Yugoslav era, to holidays by the Mediterranean, and to feelings of belonging and home. Lena Ruth Stefanović (1970, Sebria/ Montenegro): "Zhenya" is a fragment from her 2016 novel Daughter of the Childless Man (Šćer onoga bez đece), is an entertaining meta-story about an ordinary woman in the late Soviet Union, whom the author decides to grant a new lease of life, so Zhenya studies languages, becomes a mondain writer and moves with her new husband to Montenegro, where the author loses track of her.
