Reviews
If there has ever been a Russian writer who mirrored his or her own creation completely, it was surely Leonid Andreyev. Haunting, disturbing, disquieting... dark, passionate, pompous, discordant, controversial - whichever word of power you choose, it is likely to describe both Andreyev and his writing. -- Vlad Zhenevsky * Weird Fiction Review *
