Abstract

Contemporary Serbian fiction has built characters within the verbal space of the uncanny: devils, vampires, magicians and monsters. Mirjana Novaković's Fear and Servant and Dejan Stojiljković's Constantine's Crossing, the former with the master of Hell as its main character and the latter picturing an attempt of the Nazis to appropriate the ancient cultural heritage of the Serbian town Niš, combine realistic and fantastic elements, ancient and modern history, references to politics and witty parodies of various literary styles.
