"Kashcheev's tales. Tales of dreams, death and other states of mind" is a collection of stories about borderline states of consciousness and the wrong side of existence. The Lords of the Kingdom of the Dead, Kashchei and Kashchei's wife, walk the roads between life and death, where there is nothing certain, but there is much more. Faces here change like the picture of the world, ancestors meet distant descendants on the border of existence, and coffee is brewed from the memories of the dead. Whether this is true or whether someone dreamed it is unknown, and why talk about it? There is taiga, the smell of grass and a path that leads beyond everyday life. Walk along it, step by step, beyond the square that has become a circle - for you, dear readers.
