Оникромос

Druss is the last remaining man in Linvenogre, a city where two races live, completely different from humans. Druss's brother died because of a strange physical phenomenon, and soon Druss discovers that it could lead to the destruction of the city itself and the death of everyone living there. Trying to stop the catastrophe, he embarks on a remarkable journey through an endless series of both beautiful and monstrous worlds, where it is difficult to remain oneself. Meanwhile, on Earth, various people, unfamiliar with each other, encounter mysterious and ominous artifacts older than humanity itself, radically changing everything around them. And all of this is interconnected, with each reality influencing the others. This is a labyrinthine novel, a novel of mystery. It is woven from numerous micro-stories, from hundreds of details that intertwine into one big plot. Here, every detail matters, and an incredible number of diverse, unique worlds, peoples, legends, and concepts appear before the reader, with each sentence potentially becoming a key to understanding the whimsical multidimensional space where fantasy and horror, alternative reality and science fiction, "new weird" and surrealism intertwine. This is "Onikromos", a book unlike any you have encountered before.
