“I know well that my job is to cause fear,” is how Alfred Hitchcock says goodbye to the reader, wishing him a “white night” alone with one of the collections he invented, compiled and edited. Alfred Hitchcock presents stories from a wide range of writers—horror, adventure, and mystery—stories that will send chills down your spine. Tales of insomnia. Stories that will take your breath away. For the first time in Russian, we present to you an anthology that has collected the characteristic stories of the series, each issue of which is read and translated with a sinking heart in all countries of the world, except, perhaps, Mongolia and Vietnam.
