‘Mr Bosch and His Owls invites readers into a sphere where the mundane meets the surreal, offering a captivating fusion of magic realism and pastoral charm. Inspired by the enigmatic paintings of Hieronymus Bosch and other artists, this collection transports readers to a world where the ordinary is dramatically interrupted by the extraordinary.

From the tranquil countryside to the bustling city streets, each Kafkaesque adventure unfolds against picturesque landscapes. At the heart of these stories are the owls: mysterious creatures whose presence signals moments of profound change and unsettling encounters for the characters. As the tales interweave, seemingly unrelated individuals find themselves drawn into journeys interconnected by artisan descriptions, uncanny situations, and self-discovery.

This book is sure to leave you peering more closely at owls and art around you.’
