The Dead Man from Blue Pipes Street

A gothic novel about a young man who was convinced he had died long ago. A dark fantasy in the spirit of “Frankenstein” — Vladimir Torin’s new book, co-author of the bestseller “Mr. Eternal Eve” and author of the cycle about Gaben. Inside the edition — more than 50 vivid illustrations.

“‘You say you died many years ago…’” — “‘My mother died,’ Leo replied grimly. ‘Before she died, she infected me, and… I died too.’” — “‘But you’re here: you sleep, you speak, you move.’” — “‘I can’t eat: food goes down my throat, and then seems to vanish into emptiness.’”

In Tremple-Tolle, a strange young man named Leopold Prudd lives — you’re unlikely to have met anyone like him. And the city has its own dark secret, gripping it in an iron grip: people disappear without a trace…

And then the decrepit elevator descends deeper and deeper underground, while a deathly carriage races along a tunnel carved beneath the canal. Above the street of Blue Pipes, rain drums on the roof tiles. Will Leo unravel the knot of mysteries and escape the trap of secrets? His life — or UNlife — hangs by the thinnest thread.
