Description
Southern Gothic is a chilling portrait of the American province, where people live—maimed by society and history. They are surrounded by local legends and traditions. The book “Russian Gothic” is a vivid and frightening story, reminiscent of the works of Cormac McCarthy and William Faulkner.
Gothic literature is associated primarily with English literature, but in Russia there are also its examples. Interest in horrors in literature arose at the end of the 18th century, and in 1793 Nikolay Karamzin published the first Russian Gothic story “The Island of Bornholm.” In the 21st century Mikhail Bokov continues the tradition of Russian classics, creating his own works.
Egor Letov gathers stadiums, Pavel Makartsov defends his stall under globalization, and Mikhail Krug becomes part of folk folklore. Reading this literature requires caution, because it is so realistic that it seems more real than reality itself.
