This is the real horror book, in which, however, the questions of faith and unbelief are risen, the power of prayer and strength of spirit are glorified. Having found himself in the house of a witch, a seminarian -philosopher Khoma Brut hardly breaks away from her and tries to forget what happened as a nightmare.

Khoma has to hold all that for three nights.
