We promise you dark Slavic humor, delicious gnomes, and… an appetite for more.   Gnomes Taste Best with Thyme is a short story that won the JaSkier Literary Award in 2019. In this world, if you don’t pass your witchcraft exam by the age of 30, you become an unemployed outcast (no more dental insurance, hello to cheap frozen meals for the rest of your life). This witch is 28 years old and on the verge of a mental breakdown. She can’t afford to be late, but the bridge trolls have other plans. Will she make it on time? And the most important question – are gnomes better roasted with thyme, or as a filling for Polish kielbasa?
