So, no, the stories are not presented in the chronological order in which they were written. Is there a thematic continuity? I\u2019m not entirely sure, but all the stories in the collection are connected in some way and form a unified whole. They are works of fantasy fiction, with some leaning more toward horror literature. While writing them, I was influenced by the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Ambrose Bierce, Arthur Machen and H. P. Lovecraft, to mention just a few important names.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114732\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114732\" style=\"width: 720px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114732\" src=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dimos-Giorgos-Epta-meres-stin-kolasi-Diigimata-Iolkos-2026-COVER-750x-11.jpg\" alt=\"Dimos\" width=\"720\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dimos-Giorgos-Epta-meres-stin-kolasi-Diigimata-Iolkos-2026-COVER-750x-11.jpg 720w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dimos-Giorgos-Epta-meres-stin-kolasi-Diigimata-Iolkos-2026-COVER-750x-11-280x420.jpg 280w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dimos-Giorgos-Epta-meres-stin-kolasi-Diigimata-Iolkos-2026-COVER-750x-11-150x225.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dimos-Giorgos-Epta-meres-stin-kolasi-Diigimata-Iolkos-2026-COVER-750x-11-300x450.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/Dimos-Giorgos-Epta-meres-stin-kolasi-Diigimata-Iolkos-2026-COVER-750x-11-696x1044.jpg 696w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114732\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Seven Days in Hell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2013 How do you begin writing such a story? Where do you usually draw your inspiration from?<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Different things inspire me. It could be a film I\u2019ve watched, a book I\u2019ve read, a song I\u2019ve listened to, or even a dream I\u2019ve had. Sometimes inspiration also comes from things I\u2019ve experienced myself, although these particular stories are not based on my personal experiences. For example, in the story <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Anesthesia<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, a doctor tells the main character, \u201cNow I\u2019m going to drown you,\u201d before examining his throat. A doctor actually said that to me once before examining my throat\u2014jokingly, of course. Nevertheless, I found it strangely threatening, especially coming from a doctor, who at that moment exercises a certain authority over you, and I decided to include it in the story\u2019s dialogue. I start writing when I have three or four ideas that can somehow be combined. I never begin with a single idea because I know I\u2019ll soon get stuck and won\u2019t be able to develop it properly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2013 <\/span><\/b><b><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fish from Japan<\/span><\/i><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> is the first story in the collection. Here, you address the horror of nuclear catastrophe while adopting a contradictory, almost cheerful tone. <\/span><\/b><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Tell us about this choice.<\/span><\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is actually a very old literary technique. One of the earliest examples is Jonathan Swift\u2019s essay <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A Modest Proposal<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (1729), in which the Anglo-Irish writer and clergyman seriously suggests that poor Irish people should begin eating their own children, thereby eliminating hunger among the lower classes and reducing a population that was supposedly growing at a problematic rate. Swift, of course, did not mean what he wrote; rather, he was criticizing the indifference of the upper classes toward poverty in Ireland. <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Fish from Japan<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> deals with a horror so immense that it is almost impossible to discuss it seriously. Ever since nuclear weapons were first developed and used at the end of World War II by the United States against Japan, they have been a source of terror for all of us, and governments and the media periodically remind us of their existence. I do not believe that the nuclear threat is a joke; on the contrary, it is something so dark that the human mind struggles to comprehend it.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_114734\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-114734\" style=\"width: 1617px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-114734\" src=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905.jpg\" alt=\"Dimos\" width=\"1617\" height=\"1080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905.jpg 1617w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-1536x1026.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-629x420.jpg 629w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-696x465.jpg 696w, https:\/\/artviews.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/ATK_0905-1068x713.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1617px) 100vw, 1617px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-114734\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">George Dimos<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2013 The title of the book evokes biblical imagery.

I borrowed it from an album by the now almost forgotten psychedelic band C.A. Quintet from the 1960s, called <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Trip Thru Hell<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">.

If there is any such allusion, it has far more to do with Arthur Rimbaud\u2019s <\/span><i><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A Season in Hell<\/span><\/i><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> (1873) than with the Bible.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:true,&quot;134233118&quot;:true,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u2013 How does it feel to have published your first book?
