In the stories of this collection, the heroes, while strolling down the street, find themselves invited to a ball with Satan, share blood with house spirits and the dead, overhear conversations of the departed, become vessels for vengeful spirits, and experience the end of the world.
And all this happens in Petersburg — a city that holds a completely special place in Russian literature. "Rarely can one find such dark, sharp, and strange influences on the human soul," wrote Dostoevsky. Will the heroes remain the same when faced with the phantoms of Petersburg?
The book includes stories: "Bobok" by F. M. Dostoevsky, "A Ghost in the Engineering Castle" by N. S. Leskov, "Land and Water" by A. S. Green, "The Lady in Chains" by F. K. Sologub, "The Strange Ball" by V. N. Olin and other renowned writers. The edition is presented in a classic design by a contemporary artist.
