'Bezna' in Romanian means consistent darkness + diffuse fear
Bezna is darkly glowing dead thinking, cosmic pessimism, hairy autonomy, inner reptilians, limbo sighs, horrendous pink volumes, underground nematodes, happy dismemberment, haunting prehumanism, compassion crises, glowing horror, sinister moods, aesthetic autophagia, postspectacle shelters, eternal stillness, future plague, decomposing knowledge, ouroboric moves, idiot nonknowing, shadow bodies, netherworld excavations, imperceptible evil, hyperbolic specters and news from Cioran.

The first ones have been edited by Florin Flueras, Veda Popovici, Arnold Schlachter, while the last ones have been edited by Florin Flueras, Irina Gheorghe and mainly by Alina Popa, in the memory of which this anthology is published.
