Naživo ("In Vivo", 2003) is a brutal and dark tale about the resonances of the war violence from Bosnia and Kosovo in a „peaceful“ environment of sanctions-bound and depraved Interzone called Serbia. Politics, war, snuff, occult, underground cinema and pornography are merged in a gruesome tale of a young man's search for meaning in the middle of chaos. Ognjanović's second novel, "Zavodnik" ("The Seducer", 2014) brings a change of pace: it is an atmospheric folk-horror Serbian rendition of Henry James's The Turn of the Screw, about a young teacher brought into a mostly deserted and dead village in the mountains to teach a couple of orphans under the care of their grandma. However, it seems that their much-maligned father is not quite dead... Both of these novels had two editions; "Naživo" is sold-out and out of print. Ognjanović's short stories and novellas have been published in many Serbian magazines, journals and book anthologies. So far, none of Ognjanović's fiction has been published in English. Ognjanović's essays in English were published in the books edited by Steven Schneider:"100 European Horror Films" (British Film Institute, London, 2007), on "Déjà vu", 1987); "501 Movie Directors" (Quintessence / Barron's, London / New York City, 2007), on Alejandro Jodorowsky, Goran Marković, James Whale, Jan Svankmajer, Kaneto Shindo, Kim Ki Duk and Sogo Ishii; "101 Horror Movies You Must See Before You Die" (Quintessence / ABC Books, London/Sydney, 2009) on Mask of the Demon, Suspiria, The Abominable Dr Phibes, The Beyond, The Devil Rides Out, The Exorcist, The Masque of the Red Death and The Wicker Man; "101 SF Movies You Must See Before You Die" (Quintessence / ABC Books, London/Sydney, 2009) on Blade Runner, Stalker, The Terminator and Robocop; "101 Gangster Movies You Must See Before You Die" (Quintessence / ABC Books, London/Sydney, 2009) on Dillinger, and "101 War Movies You Must See Before You Die" (Quintessence / ABC Books, 2009) on Tora!
