The film and television series “There Will Be No Narcosis” are based on the novel of the same name by Alexandra Sashneva, an artist and poetess, film director, actress and lead singer of the rock group “Felicita”. The novel went through two reprints and was awarded one of the main prizes at the Roskon-2002 literary festival. The “homicide department” of St. Petersburg is concerned about a series of mysterious deaths of artists who painted incomprehensible symbols on canvas with their own blood until life left their bodies ... The mummified corpse of a baby on the banks of the Neva... A mysterious hieroglyph that commands life and death, the mysterious Professor Legion - the Master of Plasticine Dolls, who controls people's destinies, the mysterious Black Cop - a private detective investigating supernatural murders... The artist Liza Koshkina, who came from the provinces to conquer the northern capital, finds himself in the very center of a cycle of ominous and deadly events. In order to subordinate objective reality to your own will, you need to know what it is. To survive on the path to this knowledge, one must remember that death is always near, and life is an illusion, like the patterns in a kaleidoscope. Only by dying and resurrecting again can you become a true Warrior, winning at city crossroads and in dreams, equally successfully fighting material and ethereal opponents. The novel by the winner of the Bronze Roscon-2002 award, Alexandra Sashneva, is not only superbly written, but also contains effective techniques for controlling reality.
