One hundred years of a Russian Gothic novel – such a subtitle could be given to a collection that united the names of so different authors. The publication opens “Lafertovskaya Makovnitsa” by A. Pogorelsky, which is considered the first work in domestic literature with a mystical plot, and ends with the story of A. Green “Gray Car”. Gothic became fashionable in the early XIX century. Focusing on European samples, turning to folk cows and legends, Russian writers of the 1820s-1830s fully paid tribute to this genre. Among them are A. S. Pushkin and N. V. Gogol, A. A. Bestuzhev-Marlinsky and V. F. Odoevsky. Elements of the supernatural, creatures from another world - ghosts, sorcerers, dead, ghouls and other evil spirits - fill the pages of books. But later interest in the mysterious, irrational, fantastic in Russian literature has not dried up, as evidenced by the works of A. K. Tolstoy, I. S. Turgenev, N. S. Leskov and other authors. A new fascination with mysticism came in the Silver Age, when A. I. Kuprin, F. Sologub, L. N. Andreev and others created their works. Widely known works of Gothic prose coexist on the pages of the collection with rarely published works.
