They are waiting — those who can fulfill the most cherished dream.
They wait until a person desires something so strongly that they are ready to pay any price, even the highest. To give the monsters the most priceless, blood-related thing. That without which a person turns into a monster themselves.
This book is about the monsters who need people. And about the people who can become monsters — or triumph over them.
Here, a Soviet doctor saves lives by uncovering a horrifying secret of Nazi criminals. A director, who traded talent for commercial success, accidentally peeks into the dark backstage of the post-war era. Reborn books harbor a sinister power, and a writer dreaming of fame receives a gift from one who no longer needs human souls. A small Ural village keeps the secret of a crashed spaceship. And side by side with people live those who consider themselves the pinnacle of creation  — and who must kill to thrive.
And how high a price are you willing to pay for
the fulfillment of your dream?
