The book of Vladimir Rudinsky, a native of Russia, living in France, was first published abroad and sold instantly. Still, after all, this unique, written in magnificent language and on modern material, "novel in short stories" can be attributed simultaneously to the genres of thriller and detective story, esotericism and mysticism, science fiction and modern "urban": prose, as well as to erotic and love genres. The heroes of the short stories "Dead Man's Love," "The Devil in the Subway," "Possessed," "Vampire," "The Face of a Nightmare," "Egyptian Enchantments" - the author, detective Le Genn and his assistant Elimberry, finding themselves in a whirlpool of mysterious events, argue with their actions - God does not leave a person hopelessly alone in the face of the forces of evil and does its highest justice. The text of the book retains the author's spelling and punctuation.
