KTHON. The Story of One Dormitory

He lives in a dormitory where loneliness thickens into a strange darkness in the corner of the room, and the neighbors become his main enemies. But what if Hton is not just darkness—what if it’s part of him, born from years of isolation?

Evgeny CheshireKo is the author of the legendary “Diary of a House Spirit,” which has been read by over 2,000,000 Runet users. The books from the House Spirit universe sold over 150,000 paper copies and continue to be reissued. “Hton” is the most unusual book by the author. New heroes aren’t funny inhabitants of a magical world—they’re ordinary people, you and your neighbors. Hton is the darkness in the corner of the room. Hton is the noise, the dirt, and the screams of restless neighbors. Hton is you yourself, when you try not to notice those who are right there.

He lives in an ordinary dormitory. Every day here is a test of endurance, where the main enemies are unbearable neighbors, eternal mess, and your own loneliness, which becomes denser with each passing day—like this strange darkness in the corner of his room. Or maybe HTON is what lives in each of us who has been alone for too long?

A book with a mystical aftertaste—about fear of strangers and how hard it is to accept that you are not alone in this world.
