The Medium

18+ Attention! Contains profanity. “Medium” is a novel by Mikhail Zlobin, the first book in the cycle “What the Graves Are Silent About,” genre: urban fantasy, action fantasy.

My gift lets me bring the dead back to life, talk to them, and command them... But I never wanted to use it for evil. On the contrary, I even tried to help the police with murder investigations by learning all the details directly from the victims. But then there were those for whom my abilities became a bone in the throat—people who didn’t want the dead to ever speak again. A real hunt began behind my back, and now, just to survive, I’m forced to do terrible things. Well then—you made a monster out of me yourself...

Author’s notes: Urban fantasy in the setting of modern Russia. The farther into the series you go, the less crime there is—and the more necromancy there is.
