His stories have been published as serials in county newspapers. Some stories were published in the magazines Horisont<\/em> and Favoriit<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tarlap\u2019s first book, the collection of stories Viiking, kes armastas haisid<\/em> (\u2018The Viking Who Loved Sharks\u2019) was published in 2001.

Outside science fiction and fantasy, Tiit Tarlap\u2019s best-known work is T\u0161ernob\u00f5l 1986<\/em> (\u2018Chernobyl 1986\u2019), published in 1993, which tells the story of the liquidation of the consequences of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant accident, where Tarlap was forcibly sent.

After that, Tarlap published a book almost every year. Tarlap\u2019s work is characterized by adventurousness, glorification of male values, social criticism and the author\u2019s intransigence with the growing falsity and inhumanity in the world. One of the characteristic features of Tarlap\u2019s fantasy is its strong origin in crime literature. L. P. (Translated by I.
