Since a boy, two boys. Demishkevich A.V.

Andrei is thirteen, and at school he is called the son of Zombies, because he lied for six months that his mother was alive, although she died. He has a difficult relationship with his father and stepmother, so the stepmother decides to get rid of the boy, sending him to the army. At first, the presence of a child there seems strange and sympathetic. But soon it turns out that among his colleagues there are many more strange people.

Roman Asi Demishkevich, written in the traditions of the Russian fairy tale, simultaneously claims and destroys the fairy -tale canon. The reader unfolds a picture in which archetypes and folklore characters gain a new, frighteningly topical embodiment.
