Have you ever really wondered where missing people go? Have you ever rethought familiar natural phenomena that have gotten “out of control”? Or what happens to a person’s heart while it is locked in the skin of a beast, and how much sympathy can it contain? What about spiders? Do you tremble in front of them, or mercilessly smear them on the wall? And most importantly, where can a person’s hidden dark instincts, which for the time being have been swarming in the most remote and dark corners of the soul, lead him? The author invites you to explore all this and more with him through the collection of short stories “Dark Instincts”, each story of which is a kind of new reading of the darkest paths of the horror genre.
