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 starved. Everything that happens to writers is reflected in their work in one way or another. Andreyev is like... Lovecraft. Just without Cthulhu. Horrific characters are successfully replaced by… Who do you think? Yes, by the people themselves, who can be scarier than any monsters. 

The collection includes works where a person becomes a hostage of the situation, of fate. The vise tightens, causing the heroes to suffer from hatred, anger, helplessness. Life and death hang in the balance, reason weakens, and terrible, unsightly things rise from the depths of consciousness. Darkness thickens — and will either engulf a person or give him a way to a new level of awareness. But can the human mind cope with this "renewal"? The book is recommended for everyone interested in personality psychology and who empathizes with the characters.

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 Thebes" and "The Tale of the Seven Hanged".
