Photojournalist Masha, during a business trip to Paris, suddenly notices with confusion that those around her are avoiding her. What begins as a classic 'body swap' transforms into a creepy and engaging multi-layered phantasmagoria. Everyday life suddenly turns into a...
terrifying fairy tale. Any action taken in the familiar reality echoes ominously in the fairy-tale reflection. Soon, the end of the world becomes truly close and terrifying. The genre experiment that Anna Starobinets undertakes has no analogs in Russian literature!
1. A thrilling metaphysical thriller and phantasmagoria in which the mundane grey suddenly turns into a nightmare. From the author of the books 'Fox Crossings', 'Living', 'Adolescence'. The main character, Masha, a photojournalist, faces inexplicable changes in perception when familiar actions reflect in another, mysterious reality. Symbolic and ominous: a single event can affect both worlds, and the looming threat of the end of the world becomes increasingly palpable. 2. The author masterfully uses phobias, fears, and 'fractures' of everyday life, exposing the deep human anxieties beneath them. 3. Anna Starobinets is called the 'queen of Russian horror'. Her voice is one of the most original in contemporary Russian prose. Possessing a unique gift for recognizing collective fears, the writer creates worlds where the mundane borders on the frightening and the marvelous. Starobinets' texts have been translated into several languages and have earned her the 'Best Writer in Europe' award from the Congress of the European Society of Science Fiction.
