erhypnos | 5 comments It was written by a single male author and consisted of completely independent, unconnected stories.

The only things stuck with me are:

- the visual of the restroom attendant lady getting washed out from the public bathrooms in a flood (post-soviet aesthetics, possibly set in Moscow?). that part felt like an acid trip but i can't recall anything else.

- a story about a guy who drove to the woods and discovered a werewolf pack
(view spoiler)


read it around 2013

I still keep thinking about it because it felt very different from the Western fiction and made me want to explore books with various origins. Would love to revisit it again.

Thank you for any help ♡

It has the the title story and Vera Pavlovna’s Ninth Dream in it.

Yes! I think I had a different anthology or edition but that's definitely the author. Many thanks!
