Nenad Mitrović

Nenad Mitrović is a Serbian author of four novels and one short story collection published in Serbia. Born and raised in the eastern part of the country, a region marked by rugged landscapes, fading industrial towns, and a rich substratum of folklore, Mitrović’s writing inhabits the space where the intimate and the uncanny meet, where everyday life slowly erodes into something darker, stranger, and more revealing.

Over the past year, Mitrović has increasingly turned toward writing and publishing in English. Under his own name as well as the pseudonym Norman Goodman, his work has appeared in numerous international magazines and print publications dedicated to horror, speculative fiction, and the fantastic. Among the more notable appearances is his contribution to the Hellbound Books Anthology of Pandemic Horror, participation in the Lovecraftian anthology World Upside Down, and weird fiction anthology Strange Vibes in 2026, projects that further solidified his engagement with contemporary global horror.

Lifelong influences from science fiction, classic works to modern titles such as Annihilation, converge in his novel The Island of Happiness, which blends speculative fiction with psychological and cosmic horror.
