Name on the Stone

In this collection of works by Lafcadio Hearn, the legendary "collector of curiosities" and favorite of Lovecraft, the collections of stories "The Touch of Nightmare," "Random Pages from Strange Books," and a small cycle "The Game of Imagination" are presented in full for the first time in Russian.

Exquisite, infused with "longing for other existences" (a phrase by Fyodor Sologub), full of darkly romantic stories about cursed jewels, Creole witchcraft, tragic love that knows no bounds even in death, exotic countries, metempsychosis, reincarnation, and other thrilling imagination-stirring topics. The writer explores the nature of the supernatural fear that is evoked in us by dark legends and the oppressive architecture of Gothic cathedrals.
