    About “Morbus”

    Vienna in the 1980s is no ordinary place. In the Schönbrunn Zoo, shapeshifting creatures lurk, and something stirs in the fountain that appears in no textbook. A secret unit called BASILISK has made it its mission to confront the uncanny day after day.

    At its side are a hard-boiled detective and a woman from the goth scene. Among talking dolls and walking skeletons, the two are repeatedly ambushed by adversaries no one would expect. Each new case raises the question of how much of this city is still human.

    Here, the gothic horror of the old school lives on: coarse, bloody and with a Viennese wink. Whether the horror will ever end, and who will have the last word in the end, remains uncertain until the final page.

    Who is “Morbus” for?

    The book is for readers who enjoy spooky mysteries with a wink. Anyone who loves investigations in the style of classic gothic novels and is not put off by coarse scenes will find the right material here. The mix of detective story, mythical creatures and Viennese local color appeals especially to people who enjoy the horror genre and unusual opponents.

    When is “Morbus” the best read?

    The story suits evenings when you want to keep the lights dimmed. A spooky mystery with shapeshifters and a basilisk fits well into the long season of darkness. Anyone who knows Vienna will recognize the familiar places around the zoo and the fountain, which makes the reading a special pleasure.
