The rising star of Russian fiction, Ekaterina Kostikova, managed to create a purely Russian mystical thriller, which is not a shame to put on a par with the works of Stephen King, Bram Stoker and Clive Barker. It turns out that creepy and incredible stories happen not only in the notorious town of Derry, ancient Scottish castles or in New York, where, according to the mythology of cinema, Spider-Man, the X-Men and the descendants of the children of the corn, bored in their native village, peacefully coexist. Our province is also not cut out for it. The action of the novel “Lapnik on the right side” takes place in a godforsaken town in the middle zone, but in comparison with the horrors that happen there, Lynch’s famous “Twin Peaks” may seem like a good Christmas fairy tale. Precisely verified storylines, excellent writing, an amazing sense of humor and An absolutely unpredictable ending will satisfy the most demanding reader.
