Corpsemouth and Other Autobiographies

Coming out in Russian for the first time!

A new book of stories by John Langan.

Hypnotic, dark, frightening—and at the same time poetic tales from the master of contemporary horror.

For everyone who loves horror.

The most ordinary house on Halloween night suddenly becomes a gateway to something ancient and unimaginably horrifying; beside another house, an odd tower grows out of nowhere, and deep within it lies a real monster; a son returns to the city where his recently deceased father was from—and realizes that everything here is intertwined with the legend of an ancient titan named Corpse-Crater, who devours living bodies and dead souls; an elderly nanny offers the boy a game, to find in the mirror a mysterious creature that can grant wishes. This is only part of what awaits readers in Langan’s worlds, filled with the widest variety of monsters—from vampires and banshees to carnivorous giants, manticores, and even Godzilla. And each of them turns out to be far more terrifying and mysterious than in the old legends.
