The Book of Autumn Demons

People do not believe in demons. Perhaps, they should, because demons believe in them. These stories are told to a person whose world is collapsing before his eyes. Here, in a strange hotel in the middle of the forest, a doomed loser receives the key to world domination, not yet realizing what game he is getting into. The most ordinary visit of a patient to a psychotherapist turns into a whimsical parable about the struggle between light and darkness, where everything is not what it seems. Simple yet very real horrors of everyday life encounter the myth of the werewolf. Here, nightmares disguise themselves as the mundane until they reveal their sinister face in all its glory, while black butterflies herald death, though it is not immediately clear whom they have come to take to the other world. These are tales of how the supernatural collides with reality; they demonstrate the creativity of Yaroslav Gzhendovich from an unusual side, lyrical yet utterly ruthless.
