Abraham Grace Merritt (1884-1943) was an American journalist and writer who became famous for his works in the genre of horror and science fiction. In New York in the 30s of the twentieth century, the ruler of ancient Karnak and white Dagut meet-the daughter of the last king of the Lost City, Isa. How could the characters of ancient Breton legends and songs come to life, because more than three thousand years have passed? Ethnologist Alan Karanak has been searching for an answer to this question since his friend was killed, and this is just one of four mysterious suicides in the city. Ahead of Alan and his fiancee Helen, Dr. Austin Lovell and his assistant psychiatrist Bill Bennett — a maelstrom of mysterious, strange and unpredictable events taking place on the verge of reality and imagination. Are human sacrifices possible in modern America? Is it possible to reincarnate and revive ancient memories? Is it possible to turn a person into a shadow and make him your helpless slave? All this is described in the shimmering, magical, touching, tense narrative of the classic "mystical fantasy". "Crawl, Tina, crawl!— - the second novel of the author's detective dilogy (the first is "burn, witch, burn!"- published by The Folio publishing house).
