Russian Gothic by Aleksandr Skorobogatov

Set against the backdrop of a decaying Soviet Union, this darkly atmospheric tale weaves a narrative of mystery and existential dread.

As he delves deeper into the village's enigmatic history, he encounters a cast of eccentric characters, each harboring their own hidden motives and desires. The narrative unfolds with a blend of surrealism and gothic elements, exploring themes of identity, memory, and the inescapable pull of one's roots.
