Darkness and Rivers. Another Cinema

What awaits on the other side of the screen?
Incredible temptation — to find oneself inside a movie, to experience the magic of editing, the wonders of special effects, and to attain a semblance of immortality by becoming part of a work of art, isn’t it true? But what if this film is cursed and feeds on the lives of others? Are you ready to step through the shimmering door on the screen and test yourself?

The mysterious avenger Darkness finds himself inside a lost phantasmagoric film, where he is assigned the role of either the main hero or the main villain. It’s truly difficult to figure it out, for the film has chosen supernatural monsters from St. Petersburg for the roles of the good guys, the Four Rivers — Styx, Cocytus, Acheron, and Phlegethon, who, at the behest of the new master, have ended up in the Urals. Thus, the cinematic fairy tale of victory over a powerful sorcerer turns into a bloody farce, where the actors reshape the plot to their liking, and the evil genius weaves intrigues… for the show must go on at any cost.

But art, as we know, is an altar. Who will be sacrificed this time? Your ticket to the strangest movie screening in the world will be this book. Take your seat in the front row, the mad spectacle is about to begin…
