About the book: 2023 / The collection includes three chilling stories with their own unique atmosphere. Ice captivity. Hopelessness and despair in ice captivity capture the city without hope with every snowflake that fell on its streets. The days that have merged into a white nightmare are taking more and more lives. And the occasional scurrying people, who have already given their all and mechanically carry their burden until their last strength is exhausted, on the verge of death cease to be so. The Man Who Killed the Holiday. Did you go to visit your family and friends on old holidays as a child for treats? Or maybe not only to them? After all, the temptation is so great to get more sweets, despite the prohibitions of your parents. But every veto has a reason... Not to grow up. Misfortune strikes everyone at least once in their life, you can’t hide from it. When it comes, all your hitherto important and pleasant things will become meaningless. And there is hardly anything that will calm the soul in these bitter moments. But worse than misfortune is missed happiness.
