Atomovky: The Graveyard
Atomic beasts roam the world
Atomic beasts – mutated humans, remnants of the last war – and those who survived the atomic madness without mutations hide from them in shelters and fortified cities.
The strangest of them all is the Graveyard, the seat of the high priestesses of the Church of the Nuclear Goddess. Beneath the Graveyard’s foundations are buried statues of old gods and perhaps many other secrets of the world before, as well as the world that the Sheriff and the Novice are now trying to fight their way through on a quest to save it. But this world might not even want to be saved. May the radiation situation remain stable!
Atomic Beasts is a series by Kristýna Sněgoňová and František Kotleta. Welcome to the frantic post-apocalyptic world from the best authors in Czech fantasy.
Kristýna Sněgoňová
(* 1986) With her very first book, she became the bestselling female author of Czech fantasy. Krev pro rusalku (Blood for a Rusalka) (2018), a gritty noir detective story, introduced a world of fae living on the fringes of society and working as prostitutes. In 2024, it was followed by a sequel titled Krev pro divoženku (Blood for a Wild Woman). Her most successful work is the post-apocalyptic trilogy, Město v oblacích (City in the Clouds) (2020), Země v troskách (Land in Ruins) (2021), and Svět v bouři (World in the Storm) (2022), in which people must leave fortified cities built above the surface to find out what happened to their world and whether there is hope for a return. This series has also become popular in Poland (Miasto w chmurach, 2024). Kristýna Sněgoňová is also the editor of an urban fantasy anthology and the author of a fairytale book for children. With František Kotleta, she created Legie (The Legion), a fascinating space opera that has not only garnered tens of thousands of enthusiastic readers but also numerous reprints. The Atomic Beasts series is another joint project by these seasoned authors.
František Kotleta
(* 1979) He already has his own shelf in bookshops, and it's no wonder – he is the bestselling and most popular author of Czech fantasy. He achieved this status with his Bratrstvo krve (Brotherhood of Blood) series (2010). Also legendary is the Spad (Fallout) series, which deals with the world after the Third World War, followed by the two-part Underground and a series of paranormal detective stories featuring private investigator Tomáš Kosík. He followed this with Kyberpunková swingers party (Cyberpunk Swinger's Party), where the reins of the fight against demons, magic, and old gods are taken over by his daughter, Eva. With Kristýna Sněgoňová, he created the twelve-part space saga Legie (The Legion), which tells the story of the crew of the ship Kraksna (The Jalopy) fighting against an alien invasion. Behind the pseudonym is journalist and screenwriter Leoš Kyša, author of the award-winning detective novel Sudetenland, set in an alternate reality where the expulsion of Germans from the Czechoslovak borderlands did not happen, and the near-future crime story Syndikát (The Syndicate). His books are successfully published in Poland and also in the USA. As an editor, he is behind several sold-out anthologies of Czech and Slovak fantasy.
