Fear, 2nd edition. Zveznov O.

Oleg Zveonnov is a subtle stylist and brilliant mystifier, “typical Russian Borges”, by definition of Leo Danilkin. The novel "Fear" inherits the best traditions of the Russian Gothic Karamzin, Gogol, Pogorelsky and Bulgakov. The Russian emigrant, who wandered into the Bukinistic shop in America, becomes the owner of several manuscript notebooks. In them is the story of one life and one love on the verge of obsession. The Ukrainian village, where the hero is sent to the child on vacation, is a half -mystical space full of miracles and prejudices. Here is a meeting with Mara, and the wedding of a village witch, and strange ritual rites. This is a book about the test of fear, which sometimes turns out to be stronger and wins, about a personal nightmare, to get out of which is incredibly difficult, if possible.
