A cold hand in my hand. Ekman R.

Robert Ekman is the legend of the English horror, the writer and editor whose “strange stories” (as he called them himself) influenced the galaxy of horror writers and fantasy, from Neil Gaiman to Peter Straub, from Ramsey Campbell to Adam Navell and John Langan. Its elegantly written, worked out stories are shocking and scared by not standard fears or blood, but by a radical change in the laws of nature and everyday life. “Cold Hand in my hand” is one of the most famous books by Eikman. Here, a young man collides at a fair with the most unpleasant and at the same time attractive attraction in his life, a young English woman meets in Italy with something that will completely change her if he does not kill, and a simple salesman will find a shelter in a hotel, at first glance such a common one, so ordinary, so ordinary, But in fact, an ominous and incomprehensible place, more like a maze where there is terrible heat, and it is impossible to go outside. The territory of the strange, created by Robert Akman, “abysses under the face of order”, still excites the imagination of writers and readers around the world, and the unusual composition of stories and the special atmosphere of his works still have no analogues. For the first time in Russian.
