How to grow a predator out of a compliant, grateful girl, and turn an ordinary village cellar into a hell from which no one returns. Women disappear one after another. The police look for the guilty among migrant workers. Neighbors come by with pies and kind words. And under the kitchen, where the chairman calmly drinks tea, a bound literature teacher hears his voice and cannot scream.
«Zdrakomon» is a novel by Alexey Nebokhodov after which you will no longer be able to drink tea at someone else’s place as peacefully as before. Those who’ve finished reading fall silent. Not because there’s nothing to say, but because it’s terrifying to admit: even if you don’t believe it—your nightmares will believe it for you.
