Tomáš Peřina
Although Tomáš Peřina‚s (*1980, Prague) surname might seem to predestine him for love poetry, he has chosen the path of horror. What he has in common with the monsters he writes about is that they rarely appear and he prefers a quiet life.
František Skála (*1956) is a Czech sculptor, painter, graphic artist, children’s book illustrator, musician and dancer. He studied woodcarving at the School of Applied Arts in Prague (1971-1975) and television and film graphics at the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague (1976-1982). In total, he has illustrated over twenty books, many of which have won prestigious awards.
