The book for the first time contains fantastic stories of the famous poet and prose writer A.N. Budishchev (1867-1916), known in the 1890s-1910s, but now in the order of the forgotten poet and prose writer. The romantic craving for the "mysterious" and "strange" preserved from his youth, natural science motifs combined with religious mysticism and attention to the borderline states of the soul - all this is characteristic of the fantastic works of the writer, who is called the continuation of the traditions of F. Dostoevsky.
