We encounter Evil every day but do not realize the extent of it. A diary of a serial killer, filled with bloody details and shameful revelations, will change the perception of how serious everything is. Who is he: a madman driven by a manic idea? A witch hunter who notices evil where nobody else does? Or an unfortunate, broken person who has taken on the unbearable burden of a judge and executioner? How to discern the truth among blood, deaths, madness, loneliness, total lies, eternal night, rains, and fogs — and does this truth even exist?..
A mystical thriller in the best traditions of the genre. Chilling to the bone, like the novels of Stephen King. Filled with dark aesthetics of the highest class, like 'Perfume' by Patrick Süskind. Beautiful in its grim poetry, like 'The Gardener' by Rodrigo Cortés.
