Minihorror is a highly original work of 28 pieces of flash fiction which feature a Viennesse couple,, Mike and Mini. Miki''s anxiety is always at fever pitch, constantly in a state of existential crisis, leading to mortal danger. He often needs to be rescued by Mini. Mini might be the stronger-willed, but she has her own vices and hang-ups - falling into fits of rage to avoid grappling with her past - whatever it takes for her to survive. Mini and Miki feel like the last lovers left alive in a world collapsing into dystopia through capitalism, nationalism, climate-crisis and disconnection. Mini and Miki might perish in one story, but they always regenerate in the next one - and so it goes, until the end of time.
