A Room Without Good People

FANS OF “BLACK SED” AND “OUTSTANDING BEASTS,” GET READY! This is a rather remarkable duet: a crafty fox of noble blood and a gloomy coyote who passed through the furnace of World War I. But even they—fearless agents of the Cheka—won’t find it easy in the blood-red, rag-draped capital of Soviet Russia. After all, besides hunger, ruin, and banditry, the partners will also have to face the horrifying secrets of a society of the cursed. Can a cool head and a hot heart prevent a new apocalypse? “An unconventional work in which alternative Russian history, references to the biblical apocalypse, and a unique authorial world intertwine.” — Alex Jung, writer
