Lilith. The Evil Heart of the Doll

A wealthy businessman has a sick daughter, Zhenichka — she has not been able to walk for five years due to a back injury. The father wants to give her a gift and orders a huge doll from a very... famous reclusive master, who works for the local theater and private collectors. The doll is extraordinarily beautiful, highly anthropomorphized. Zhenichka immediately falls in love with her and names her Lilith. After a month, Zhenya's legs come to life. But soon the “relationship” between the girl and the doll leaves the parents seriously puzzled, and then anxious. Zhenichka's dependence on Lilith turns into a strange illness. The father and stepmother decide to take it away from their daughter, but it’s too late. The doll takes up too much space in Zhenichka's life. Throughout her life… The novels of Arthur Gideon from the series “Black Swans” are mystical thrillers with a historical background, where reality and the supernatural intertwine, hidden fears come to life, and urban legends and ancient traditions find new embodiment in our day.
