University of Demons

In the very depths of Hell, there is an ancient university where the main course is taught—"How to Make a Person Miserable." While some demons are content with run-of-the-mill temptations, three students choose a harsher method: to give people exactly what they dream of most.

A timid young man is granted the ability to calculate the probability of love, and step by step turns relationships into a cold calculation—percentages matter more than feelings, and people become variables in a formula. An ordinary office worker finds himself in a devilish casino, where the thrill is fueled by the fact that every round is won—or lost—under the shadow of death. And an influential entrepreneur, obsessed with the idea of immortality, is ready to go further than anyone else—and literally claim another person’s life.

"University of Demons" is a dark, tense novel about the art of self-justification: how easily a person abandons moral principles if the prize is sweet enough. And about how true Hell often begins long before death.
