In the world of the author’s stories, miracles don’t get replaced by logic—they replace ordinary explanations. For example, in one fictional universe, a doctor can send a heroine to a bird specialist, and in another, after a catastrophe, everything turns into a world of "Alice in Wonderland."
K.A. Terina is a writer and artist, and her works have been translated into six languages. In Italy, her collection "Medusa" was released.
"All My Birds" is an anthology of unique worlds where you can literally feel light, while darkness fills everything around. Some worlds defend themselves against outsiders with claws; others hide and lie in wait. Some worlds are carried away through time and space; others remain motionless. Each world is filled with its own heroes, monsters, and gods, and each has its own story. Birds can choose any of these stories and worlds.
The author expertly creates unprecedented worlds populated by real characters. Whether it’s a shadow, a microbe, or a zombie on a steam engine, each hero fights their fate and can achieve victory, as noted by the writer Shamil Idiyatullin.
K.A. Terina’s texts balance between science fiction and philosophical fantasy, plunging the reader right away into worlds where magic and ordinary people coexist. They have dynamism, a poetic language, and vivid visuals—plus hope woven into even the darkest stories, according to Natalya O’Shea, aka Helavisa.
In the opinion of Vasily Vladimirskiy, K.A. Terina has a delicate sense of words and a rich imagination comparable to Lewis Carroll’s. She deserves to stand alongside masters such as Harlan Ellison, R.A. Lafferty, and Robert Sheckley.
