About the book: 2006 / A series of stories not related to each other by theme or common characters. Not even connected by mood. The only thing they have in common is that they talk about the unsettled nature of our lives, about the rejection of the reality around us. And about finding a way out. The student lived his life in one day and died happy. The businessman hired a killer to kill his love, but the victim turned out to be tenacious and vengeful. In the next world, used lives are traded, and the seven deadly sins turn into an epidemic. Valery Smolyakov receives a strange and terrible gift, for whom reality becomes theater. Kirill Sych is drowning in the impending utopia - he is denied the future paradise. The shark demon is more humane than humans. People are more dangerous than the ancient gods. And the carousel spins in the old park, changing the fates of losers - sit on a wooden horse, and you will never be the same again. “Shadows of my city” is a mysticism that happens to us, here and now. Everyday life turns inside out, turning into a phantasmagoria. For the first time, all the stories of G.L. are collected under one cover. Oldie, dedicated to our contemporaries who have found themselves in the bind of the impossible. 1998 - 2010.
