The unnamed protagonist, while dealing with depression, navigates an underground mystical world, in search of a lost friend.

Seven Terrors is the debut novel of Bosnian writer Selvedin Avdić translated into English by Coral Petkovich[1] in 2012.

[1][4] The protagonist meets Aleksa, the daughter of an old and now missing friend and helps her navigate a mystical underground.

[6] Nicholas Lezard writing in The Guardian described the book as "remarkable" and states that "This is a story that starts off weird and gets weirder, but with the logic and clamminess of a bad dream.

It's quite unlike anything I've read before, but it has all the consistency and force of something major and assured"[1] Ali Alizadeh, writing in the Sydney Review of Books calls the novel "gripping", "spinechilling," and "a terrifically compelling discourse on war, violence and humanity's dark heart".
