A New Mystery of the Old Cemetery

Detective-mystical novella by Alexei Ateev is an unusual work. A gripping plot, where sorcerers and witches act, the dead come back to life, and a poltergeist rages—it fits well with today’s realities. All the wonders in the story happen against the backdrop of a gray everyday life, yet they draw the reader in through the wildly unfolding passions and the unexpected actions of the characters. Humor and grotesque in the narration give a special flavor to what’s happening.
