"The novel is realistic, but it is much more than that. Based on its extensive and precise historical detail, it can be described as a romanticized historical chronicle. Through its richly developed characters, the novel also takes on the qualities of a psychological narrative, while the frequent conflicts and intricate plotting lend it a distinctly dramatic character.
The Apocalypse of a Small Town is a literary mosaic depicting the national liberation struggle in the Krajina region - particularly in Kozara and Potkozarje - during the Second World War.
The author presents a comprehensive and nuanced portrayal of the war and the suffering it brought to the town of Dubica, nestled in the fertile and gentle basin of the Krajina, along the banks of the Una River, beneath the scenic slopes of the Kozara and Prosara mountains."
— Ranko Milojević on the novel The Town of the Hell, 2004
