From the description of a sedate daily life, the story soars into the heights of a gruesome nightmare. Basically, it is a great thought experiment. [...] Orths, a shrewd narrator, never loses his grip as he enters the realm of science fiction and fantasy, thus following in the footsteps of the great works of Black Romance like "Dracula" or "Frankenstein." The novel takes up more and more speed as it approaches the finale. A virtuoso performance. (translation)

Markus Orths enters a whole new genre with this text, which is set somewhere between romantic fairytale and existential-philosophical thriller. [...] Orth's writing is original and fast-paced, as he enters the life of an ordinary man whose mind is twisted by the appearance of a magic cap. [...] "Die Tarnkappe" is a story of self-loss in the truest sense of the word - because if you cannot be seen by anyone anymore, how can you exist.
