The Tale of the Seven Hanged

Leonid Andreyev is one of the brightest writers of the Silver Age. In his youth, he suffered from poverty and even went hungry. Everything that happens to writers somehow reflects in their work. Andreyev is like Lovecraft. Only without Cthulhu. Horrible characters are successfully replaced by... Who do you think? Yes, the very people who can be scarier than any monsters. 

The collection includes works in which a person becomes a hostage of situation, fate. The vise tightens, forcing the heroes to suffer from hatred, anger, helplessness. On the scales are life and death, sanity weakens, and horrible, unsightly things rise from the depths of consciousness. Darkness thickens — and either it will engulf a person or it will give him a way to a new level of awareness. But will the human mind cope with this "renewal"? The book is recommended to everyone interested in personality psychology and empathizing with the heroes.

The book includes the stories "Silence", "No Forgiveness", "Darkness", "Thought", "Ghosts", "Rules of Good", and "Suitcases", as well as the novellas "The Life of Vasily of Tver" and "The Tale of the Seven Hanged".
