Horror, ghost stories and supernatural fiction

Когда Мария Гавриловна решает сбежать со своим женихом Владимиром Николаевичем, они и не подозревают, какие сверхъестественные явления природы это может вызвать.

Среди самых значимых его работ «Евгений Онегин», «Капитанская дочка» и «Руслан и Людмила».
