A New Mystery of the Old Cemetery

Detective-mystical novella by Alexei Ateev is an unusual work. A gripping plot featuring sorcerers and witches, the reviving of the dead, a poltergeist running wild—it fits well with today’s realities. All the miracles in the story happen against the backdrop of a gray, ordinary life, yet the reader is drawn in by the passions that flare up wildly and by the unexpected actions of the characters. Humor and grotesque in the narration give the events a special flavor.
