THE MAIN HORROR ANTHOLOGY OF RUSSIA

Horror celebrates an anniversary. The magic of numbers is scary…

Before you is the TENTH annual anthology “The Scariest Book”—“The Scariest Book 2023.” It includes THIRTY-THREE stories by THIRTY-THREE authors. As usual, these stories were selected by the readers themselves—there were NINETY. More than ever.

The total print run of our books is about TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND copies. And the audioversions of our stories on the YouTube channel “ССК (THE SCARIEST BOOK)” were listened to over THREE MILLION times this year.

Read and be afraid with us! Beware of mysterious “guests” living in dusty closets and abandoned buildings. Watch out for monsters from urban legends and folk beliefs. Tremble at the corpses from old photographs and at living people who embody cruelty and malice. Look over your shoulder carefully—shouldn’t something from “the other side” be following you, and aren’t there “red threads” someone who can control reality is pulling toward you? And isn’t this reality itself changing while you turn the pages of this book?..

Be afraid with us—and celebrate with us. Greet Holy Death and bow to the Gods of the Fallen. Drink your fear to the bottom and peer into the abyss hidden within you.

This is THE SCARIEST BOOK. The best of Russian horror!
