A new release from the author of the bestseller "The Petrovs in and Around the Flu"! Alexey Salnikov is one of the leading prose writers of our time. His novel "The Petrovs in and Around the Flu" (National Bestseller Award) consistently ranks among the top books of the decade. The work has been successfully adapted into a film by Kirill Serebrennikov and served as the basis for a play at the Gogol Center. In the urban fantasy novel "Occulttreger," Salnikov skillfully blurs the line between reality, phantasmagoria, and fiction. The writer constructs an amazingly logical mythology of everyday life, explaining human actions by the intervention of supernatural forces. This is a book about a whimsical reality that can always surprise—and simultaneously about the magic of everyday life that we usually overlook. The novel is dynamic and captivating: it combines detective, melodrama, and thriller genres—all unfolding against the backdrop of a Ural town and a magical space where angels and demons coexist. This book is about modernity—complex and unpredictable for people. Since the world is so inexplicable and confusing, why not believe that your neighbor is an occulttreger, the city is running out of warmth, and one of the bloggers you follow is actually a sweet and caring demon?
