14.99 €
A reissue of Konstantin Obraztsov's cult novel, the most notable and striking event in the field of Russian thrillers and mysteries in recent years! A rare combination of supreme literary talent and an alluring, mysterious, and terrifying subject matter. A detective masterpiece worthy of the most demanding reader, the most discerning approach to style, imagery, plot, and the depth of exploration of a forbidden subject, is once again appearing on the book market. Expensive, elegant, prestigious!
This novel surpasses the best examples of cult Western works.
We encounter Evil every day, yet we don't realize its scale. The diary of a serial killer, replete with gory details and shameful revelations, will change our perception of the seriousness of this whole thing. Who is he: a madman driven by a maniacal idea? A witch hunter who sees evil where no one else sees it? Or an unfortunate, broken man who has taken on the unbearable burden of judge and executioner? How can one discern the truth amid blood, death, madness, loneliness, utter lies, eternal night, rain, and fog—and does truth even exist?
A mystical thriller in the finest traditions of the genre. Gripping like a Stephen King novel. Filled with a dark aesthetic of the highest order, like Patrick Süskind's "Perfume." Beautiful in its dark poetry, like Rodrigo Cortés's "The Gardener."
