There are places where the border separating our world from another seems to become thinner. And one of these places is Karelia. Northern forests, cold lakes, deserted islands, stones with mysterious ancient drawings... It seems that legends and fairy tales come to life here. Ghosts live next to people here. And miracles, strange and frightening, happen more often than many of us would like. The collection includes three stories by Elena Usacheva. The story “Don’t Go There” is being published for the first time. “Don’t Go There” They say they have always been there. That they once owned everything around them, and then people came. The people were strong and managed to drive them away. But today people have weakened, no one is guarding the border between the worlds. There are no heroes or guardians. And they will try to return... And Arinka will try to stop them. Because he doesn't want to lose friends. And he doesn’t want to become prey to the ancient black power either! “Demon Stone” This Demon Nose is a strange place! There is nothing like this anywhere else in the world. Is it any wonder that strange things began to happen to the guys who arrived here? It seems that there really is someone invisible wandering around the camp - scaring strangers and driving them away. Almost everyone heard him or even saw him - except Misha. And for some reason many people believe that the Demon needs a victim and that he chose Misha... “Ghost Island” When did she become scared? They arrived on the island - alone, without their parents - and everything was fine. We set up tents and went to explore the area. Maybe I shouldn’t have gone to the cemetery? Or listen to stories about ghosts from the fog? Or, on the contrary, should I have listened to them and left? But they stayed, and now Sveta doesn’t know what to do. The island plays with them. And doesn't want to let go. Or rather, not the island, but the one who still lives here... although she has already died.
