"I waited for the strangeness and horror to pass and for me to be able to doze off again. But the strange unnatural feeling only grew stronger. At first I didn't even notice that anything had changed in me." H.G. Wells As ancient as fear, as imaginative as the unknown, as questionable as theology, as ambivalent and full of contradictions as mythology - fantastic stories precede literature itself. Horror, fantasy, mystery and darkness touch directly on the strings of our dreams and the labyrinths of our subconscious. That is why they fascinate us, and may be forever etched in our elusive memory. Strange is the first volume of a large-scale project that seeks to collect, research, translate and present to the Hebrew reader the best stories from the history of suspense and mystery literature from every territory, genre and period. This is a collection that includes 22 items in the discussion translated by 14 translators from 7 languages. The works were selected with a meticulous approach whose ultimate goal is to milk and celebrate the golden fruit of the imagination: the fantastic story. .... "Fantastic literature was born with man, and is found in the first chapter of Genesis" Jorge Luis Borges "The Greeks already knew that we are made of the shadow of dreams" Jorge Luis Borges "Dreams, signs and images, unexplored worlds, conquer our days, fill our childhood" Jorge Luis Borges "To write: to dream honestly. If you believe in fairy tales, you will be able to write. One does not write thanks to but in spite of the words: hence the importance of literature is the art of suggestion" Jorge Luis Borges "You did not awaken into wakefulness, but into a previous dream. This dream is found within another dream, and so forever, as many as the grains of sand" Jorge Luis Borges
