![]() ![]() ![]() Why would anyone even read fiction set in Croatia?Įven if you’re not into slavic fantasy ( or folk horror), it might be just that you’re looking for something… different. I mean, our ancestors did-back then around the 7th century. (If you’re looking for me, specifically, you don’t even need to travel far-I’m a few dozen miles from the border with Italy.) We’re that funny little cross- (or dragon-) shaped country with the longest coastline. You cross the sea… and that’s where we’re at! They say that our greater geographical region, the Balkans, is a peninsula, but you wouldn’t feel it, living here. ![]() (Venice is your best bet because of the northern position, but anything north of Rome would do.) Then you let your finger go a little to the right. What you need to do is find Italy on the map. Yay.Īlso, weirdly enough, this post accidentally coincided with a post I happened to contribute to, on sci-fi and fantasy set in Croatia, available here -in Croatian only. ![]() Full disclosure: this post started as ‘fiction set in the Balkans’, but then I realized I don’t have enough time for the research needed to do the topic justice, so you get just Croatia instead. ![]()
