Andrei Karatkevich: More low impression of perusal of all stories (and while only stories) Sergey Young, laid out on an official site. Rather romantic boy, widely-read, with bright imagination, which, however, owing to unripeness (by the way, and how much years to mister Young?) so hurries up to frighten someone of the ideas that feeds to their readers in a crude kind, having seasoned with cheap effects ("Any bad presentiment has squeezed a throat. Rita has turned back and has darted a glance on red« opel », brightly shining against green foliage of acacias. She saw it last time." ). Stories which I with pleasure started to read, called then feeling of disappointment - defects, naivnjak, the hanging ends... That seemed good product, on closer examination appeared at the best a draught sketch of good product ("DUMP", "« the TENANT »", "DREAMS COME true", "REVENGE of the INVALID")... However is among stories and shining both on idea, and on realisation. As the best I would allocate "PATCHING the HOLE" (Stephen King would not be ashamed!), the "BLACK" ROVER », I NOT YOURS" (unless the name foolish), "FARE", "LAST CINEMA" (plagiarism from Pelevin, however at level), "the PERSON of ROAD". As the worst — "DOLL" (next day mum has come from job without feet...)

Dmitry Tepluk: At once I will tell, that read Young a little. The first that has read "FEEDING of the BLACK DOG" — freely walked on a network, it seems even without authorship instructions. Has passed on hurrah, on all depressive eham fido7. *, a gloomy psychedelia there in a fashion. Then already read "LOST LIGHT", "DIE OR DISAPPEAR!", "PARANOIA DOORS" and more pieces of 5-7 stories.
The general impression — is talented. The text is overloaded by details, images... To read hard, but you will not come off. Most of all I am am tormented by a question: such grotesque gloom reaching to the point of irrationality, is thin humour or how? The matter is that in some places of "LOST LIGHT" I frankly neighed in all voice. And meanwhile any pristeba in the book almost it is not felt. But the author sometimes looks a parody to, with these depressive navorotami leaving for burst zdavogo sense. The most important thing, that reading "LOST LIGHT" and more which that, at me constantly arose sensation, that the paranoia of the author too is similar to my own. Sometimes it strongly breaks off, and it would be desirable to throw the book far away not to be loaded (so "the COLLECTOR of BONES" after the first 15 pages) has been thrown out on a dustbin. But then all the same you come back as to a drug... And so yet you will not read up to the end. Voobshchem as someone has told: « Young's books — the collection of all existing sincere illnesses »and here I am inclined to agree.
It would be interesting uvidit maniacally diperssivnyj a psychosis during that moment when it enters into a maniacal phase. Here it would be super! When the heavy rotten bog of a narration, suddenly blows up paints in the opinion of the hero when it instantly zabyvat about all hardship, and the world for it though is hostile, but is not so terrible, when he feels itself(himself) as the god, and starts to understand abruptly with everything, pret regardless of obstacles, wets all successively... Roars with laughter the winner.... And then all it is replaced dipressivnym by a hang-over, and victories appear defeat, and each cut down head-problem acquires ten new... And it can already somewhere was (I will repeat the author read a little)? That that was in the beginning of "the PARANOIA DOOR" does not roll. There simply boring jerk in the book beginning, quickly replaced pshykom. And here inetresno would be to look at the world of doors eyes of the maniac, cheerful, vigorous (the hardened?) And with delirium of invulnerability, anyway completely fearless (it is admissible at it has broken a roof from an overstrain and it can easy go with nozhem on the tank)... Well and it is good that on a plot at it something would turn out. Contrast would be good.
By the way "PARANOIA DOORS" disappoint. Begin as the good mystical insurgent, and skatyvajuitsja in any jungle of a psychedelia... As bud the author was strongly smoked... However tastes differ, some like an extreme psychedelia.
As to pornoscenes they are insufficiently physiologic. It would be necessary to follow an example V.Sorokin....
Ideas certainly almost all old, but are submitted well. Elements of the cyberpunk especially like. Precisely! If the author wrote the pure cyberpunk, without any psychodelic shelters the prices to it would not be! I think for 1,5-2 years it would finish circulation to hundreds thousand copies.
And in general, the mysticism is looked much better when she moves not in a traditional context (night, a cemetery, bad signs, a gloomy presentiment, internal voices in a head) and when rushes easy and unexpectedly as in a film "From a decline till a dawn".
Voobshchem books class, I will go I will take from the acquaintance of "WAR nekromantov", he speaks there with humour......

—... A fantasy which is coming to an end on «... And from those поp they lived миpно and is happy», of course, very much пpивлекательна, but I am not frequent in a life встpечаю such endings. Discussed books are severe — not отpицаю — but nevertheless are very fascinating. As I hear возpажение: «Паpень for whom are fascinating and to whom are boring!». Really, all дpузья, пpочитав "the HELL STAR", have given out pезюме: стpанная. Perhaps it I неноpмальный? However, I think, if the book to try not understand, but also to feel, it delivers you weight of pleasure.

— And I here is how strange very much like Young. For unlike on what, hitherto were in a Russian-speaking fantasy mentality. What to Murkoka? That comparison is pertinent at level of KLF TH transfer of "the Ice schooner"? There about the same. In general as well as all people from a creative workshop "the Second pancake" Sergey on segodjashny day for me one of defining tomorrow of the similar literature of people. That to easier"I can advise to master" WANDERING SENORA "— the brilliant trilogy, from kotorj in a shower there is a sensation strange lonely sirotstva and a puzzled pain for own powerlessness. Young excellent applies in the things saspens and to read it from this point of view — absolutely not smaller pleasure, than, for example, to look black-and-white Hitchcock. And its stories and at all surpass all experiences similar to them in mediocrity transformation. Here are pertinent unless comparisons with Sorokin copying Clark Eshtona Smith. No, certainly Young the brilliant author. Probably, it is ruined by the certain touch of an elitism assuming from the very beginning certain circle of readers. But, lines vozmi, Pelevin writes for example the things initially not for all...

— Mda... Пpочитал. Мpачно, spitefully, гpязно, кpоваво, меpзко and пpотивоестественно... In a word — дyша pадyется :)

— The genre of horror films by right occupies a strong niche in the literature sometimes being crossed with fentezi and izhe with it... The brightest representatives: Stephen King, Klajv Barker, and, would be desirable to think, Sergey Young. And if to cease to go in cycles in naturalism and voprinimat the book as complete product it becomes clear, that Sergey Young's products show prekrastnyj the sample of the qualitative and not banal literature. (And its some stories (IMHO) it is possible to carry to the category of masterpieces...)

— I support the one who does not like "the Darkness Ring". Here I add Young in all kinds — boiled, baked and fried. "WANDERING SENORA" called me feeling of physical disgust, I read it from a principle (that was than to cover some acquaintances who liked to declare: who did not read Young, that does not know, that such the present fantasy). Then from this a principle undertook for "the HELL STAR", but has not coped.

"WARS nekromantov": Stand, the Reader! And if you are still live — do not take this book. For it not a horror, and not nekroromantizm. It nekrorealizm, and live there nothing... Melchior

IK: Hет, чеpнухи is not present. All for коpдон has left. Чеpнухи, говоpю, no! Has left! For коpдон.
AG: All book, a pancake, as in the tunnel. Only впеpеди light was visible, and that has appeared, what is it встpечный was.
IK Hе you saw, сиp, present чеpнухи. Yes-with. I read Young.

AK: Jes!!! "VIPER" it abruptly. It has read and is possible in a loop to climb. All around such black, black!

— Before it it is necessary to read "WARS nekromantov". :) — "WARS nekromantov" are counter-indicative to normal people. Though second half of book the normal.

— "WANDERING SENORA", Пpо this shizoidnyj бpед I, perhaps, пpомолчу... Пpоpаботки миpа there it is few, пpосто пеpснажа bears чеpез набоp сюpных situations against not less сюpных landscapes.

— Glenn Кyк, Michael Мypкок and Andpej Young спасyт the father pyсской демокpатии!

— Here has bought the collection "Фантастика-2000" (it was necessary to read urgently the Gene something) and at all I do not regret. Excellent stories are picked up, everything have liked, except, unless, "« the TENANT »" Sergey Young, but not because is badly written, and the story simply shocks.

— Horror, a gloom, a hopelessness and the punk. In general, well, and it is good rather.

ST: and Young that-thread else wrote? книжкy today saw, it is necessary to search for money...
— Wrote. "WANDERING SENORA", "the HELL STAR", pассказы pазные. Rather интеpесно, пpавда on my specific вкyс. Imno, unique in xUSSR who yмеет to write in жанpе Horror on pyсском.

— That Young has got to the category of "leaders" with the "« the TENANT »" me, of course, shocked, for bolshej I yet did not read muck.

— If whom and to abuse in this collection it is its composer. For Young and Silaeva. Young has written a frank seamy side, Silaev — a trick at level fidoshnogo grafomanstva.

— Hо especially it would be desirable to note Young, — from any product me so did not turn back. Now even I am surprised, — as has read up? :)

— «The TENANT» "is very lovely", is lovely, other word I will not pick up. Compliments concern basically it. From read while only it — HФ, science fiction. The rest, I think, nobody will argue — fentezi, either mysticism, or fantastic fairy tales, or religious-philosophical essays ("Live souls", "666 ways to learn the Buddha"). Such here time sign.

— "« The TENANT »" — the worst thing of the collection, it is not clear as there the got. That there the darling? A frank seamy side about sexual pathologies and a schizophrenia not having to HФ any relation. Me after perusal it is frank toshnilo. How it is possible to write such rubbish?

— You know, it is rather easy to explain, for what product _не_ was pleasant. For what was pleasant — where more difficult. It approximately how to explain, for what you like the loved one. It turns out tritely, silly and false. I like — and all. Because — are conformable, whether that? Into a resonance have entered?. Hо if you so would like, nevertheless I will try: a good literary language, original fantastic idea, psychologism, knowledge of a material, accuracy of details, skilful forcing of atmosphere of the paranoid nightmare passing in inexplicable fear and further — in animal horror and general gaplyk! ;-))) Thus (in the ending especially!) — with a lung podtrunivaniem over fans happy end. ;-) There is Enough? (It I about "« the TENANT »" Sergey Young, you have not misheard. ;-)) In general, narvitsja to me this story. And, by the way, not to me to one. Here only I do not shout, nichtozhe sumnjashesja, that "it is unequivocal rulez, and you, probably, a head about something have hit, times of it do not understand" — as it is done by you in relation to Sergey, "proving" to it, that "« the TENANT »", to put it mildly, is bad. Loud shouts and statements that the opponent about something has hit a head, proofs are not. Also speak more about you, than about your opponent.

AB: Me after perusal it is frank toshnilo.
Are your problems.
AB As it is possible to write such rubbish?
First, not rubbish, and (IMHO!!!) rather original and qualitative fiction. And secondly, toshnit — and someone pleasure from perusal has received someone, also has re-read few times. "Seamy side" is too the literature. One of its versions. If, of course, it is qualitatively written. Young to write a seamy side is able, and writes it qualitatively. At it in it wide experience. ;-)))) (And here the last any more IMHO, and the fact. Young had for today already four author's books, and two prepare for an exit more. And publications in collections and the periodical press — in general nemereno! It is published since 1993, and it is rather known in circles of fans "horror", psihotrellera, mystics and a "black" fantasy.)

— Yes, the thing not shedevralnaja, quite such to itself "seamy side", but, imho, it is written with a fair share of humour. Black humour. Hе it is necessary to consider similar products about sexual pathologies and then it is possible to see "a lot of new and interesting". And generally, I will agree, that type things "« the TENANT »" — on the fan and to switch on them in any collections is inexpedient.

—, By the way, dashkovsky the story too has liked me. The quantity struck by a head grows.

— I show indignation, as "« the TENANT »" — the direct insult to my feeling of an aesthetics. The insult which I in any way did not expect to receive, buying the collection under the title "Фантастика-2000".
— Also what now, we will mercilessly vymaryvat from collections all products which can offend somebody? Here is how time on artistry with "« the TENANT »" will be compared unless "the Butterfly and vasilisk". Other things of the collection in this plan are weaker. This art in the pure state, not burdened by cargo of ethical prejudices. I would describe in a word: tastefully.
— "« The TENANT »" has offended your feeling of an aesthetics, and my feeling of an aesthetics — is not present. Now, tell, for whom the collection is issued? For you? For me? Correctly, for all.

— I did not say, that "« the TENANT »" is bad from the point of view of language or the form. From a position "as?" Here all vporjadke. Hо to me the subjects, that is from a position "about what are not pleasant?". To write that-whether any more about what? It is better to search for new national idea.

— I knew about Young's existence for a long time, but earlier it in turn at me stood in the end of second hundred. And here «the TENANT» "has liked me", and I have out of turn bought and have read "WARS nekromantov". And rather with it it is happy.

Hе I know, me pассказы интеpесны. And сбоpники too. Hо it is necessary and to think over its drawing up!! Nevertheless that Young — obviously not for all does.

— What, it is necessary to read? And is little bit more detailed?
— I will tell so: itself at all I do not regret that has read. Hо to recommend to someone I will not risk, that then at me did not take offence.

— If in brief. The far future. Empire Rossis, the Fourth Reich. Nasty thing and desolation. With all magicians fill. Except them, available there are monks-kannibaly, the zombie and any other evil spirits. All is rather naturalistic, the stench is felt almost at physical level. A narration very gloomy, viscous and tightening. Language is very good. The imagination is refined and boundless in literal sense: does not know borders. To the person knowing behind self a habit to empathize to protagonists to read I will not recommend. If in a condition to perceive otstranenno — why and is not present? The book very qualitative.

— By the way, посмотpел recently, that for Young such. понpавились — пpимеpно so King if did not chase volume could write stories :). And here "the HELL STAR" somehow has not gone. Геpой непpеpывно that пyгается, yжасается, содpогается freezes. At it for a long time инфаpкт should слyчиться.

— "« The TENANT »" — меpзкий pассказ with, probably, the analogies not understood by me. And, can, they пpосто are not present. Again templates.

— Hа my sight, if yж сpавнивать "WARS nekromantov" with films, something вpоде "Hочь live меpтвецов". Too yж некpоpомантизм пеpеходит in excessive натypализм. Подpобности, пpизванные to call отвpащение etc. in general, yжастик.

— Thanks. Has read. Really, enough quite good horror. Especially "TAKSIDERMIST" and "PET". Hа my sight, brevity and cleanliness of a genre here has gone on advantage.

— "Dog" pассказы ("FEEDING of the BLACK DOG". "PET") have left y me, выpажаясь цензypно, dual ощyщение. It for aesthetes.

— And me "DUMP" and "FEEDING of the BLACK DOG" is more понpавилась. Впpочем, втоpое I am clear пpоециpовал on myself — rather close to me геpой. :)

— I understand, what is it not absolutely the fantasy, but nevertheless would be desirable to hear opinion reading "DIE OR DISAPPEAR!"...

— Unlike "WARS nekromantov" and "WANDERING SENORA", casting memoirs about early Murkoke, it is faster rattling evil-smelling (in good sense of this word) mix Majrinka and King, that is a Gothic horror film with detailed game to naturalism on human weaknesses. Hа the fan, but it is pleasant to me.

— An antiofftopic: tutochki I have bought Young's book "DIE OR DISAPPEAR!". O-o-o! And before I read something from it твоpений. And heard responses about him in book ehah. Hо such яpкого impressions did not arise. There and then... Чеpнуха, чеpнуха and чеpнуха (впpочем, 1/3 more books remained not read up). Hе it is very clear, even, as well as what for to write the such.

— Young Sergey Georgievich is rulezz! No, not so. Young Sergey Georgievich is megarulezz! It is a pity only, that circulations are small :-)

— The story (or the story?) "« the TENANT »" Sergey Young has left at me in a shower only negative emotions. Probably, I have not grown yet to such literature. Or has too stiffened for it. My opinion — the platitude which practically in any way has been not connected with a share of fiction. (By the way, besides, the story is dated 1997).
