Reader, you have finally waited and in your hands the third volume of “Half-Dead Souls” with the completely non-accidental subtitle “Neighbors”. The fact is that in the village of Gorenka, which now has every chance of becoming famous worse than Dikanka, “neighbors” suddenly appeared like the plague, moreover, as pretty as dolls, and ready, at first glance, to fulfill any desire. Who are they? Werewolves, time travelers or victims of ancient spells? And the atmosphere in the restless village becomes tense, like a smoke break on a powder keg. And somewhere nearby people love each other and wander in an embrace along the shady boulevards of the most wonderful and mystical city in the world - Kyiv, put on a cute children's play that turns out to be worse than what we call life, and fall into the Middle Ages, trying, however, adapt to life in palaces. With varying degrees of success, of course. In a word, the adventures in Gorenka continue, and its inhabitants try in vain to get out of the avalanche of events befalling them, which take even the experienced reader by surprise and do not allow him to tear himself away from the narrative, which becomes more and more fascinating with each new volume.
