“Great is the virtue of the gods of Darkness. I venerate, but stay away,” exclaimed the once prudent inhabitant of Antiquity.

“Nefert” was undoubtedly written by a person who did not stand aside.

“And what maddening power is in such a small story! She’s terribly concentrated and hits hard—perhaps not even to wake her up, but to break through the shell.” These are the words of a reader, not a literary critic. A literary critic will say “fantasy,” and from his point of view, he will also be right.

Reading “Nefert” is fun, like any truly creepy book.

Mysticism, magic, cult the full moon goddess Bastet... It all comes down to one short but comprehensive word: Egypt.
