A house with portraits of ancestors whose eyes follow the visitor, a secret treasure, a mirror that opens a view into the past, a forbidden room, mysterious creatures, an ancient diary, family secrets, knocking in the basement... In the book The Forbidden Room, you will find stories that originate from a long-forgotten time, deeply buried in memory. In them, mysterious and unusual phenomena, which often also bring immediate danger to the main characters and heroines, arouse fear and curiosity. In The Forbidden Room, Aleksandra Simova Klinčarova has combined nine short stories that are written from the perspective of a child or teenager and contain typical elements of a horror story. A special feature of these stories is that they do not offer definitive answers to the question of what is hidden behind the creepy and fantastic phenomena. Aleksandra Simova Klinčarova is a pioneer in the field of children's horror in North Macedonia, and the book The Forbidden Room, illustrated by Hari Dudeski, was included in the prestigious White Crow catalog in 2024.
