My first mystical thriller, conceived in the distant nineties and released on the eve of the new millennium, played a special role in the life of the author and in the lives of his first readers. For many, “Ghosts...” has become a reference book, opening a passage into the mysterious world of fantasy. The Stranger in Black has returned, and the Nameless City is again awaiting guests - both those who have already looked into the ominous house at the intersection of Pionerskaya and Kutuzovskaya streets, and those who are new dares to look into the eyes of the Abyss lurking at the threshold of our world.
