Blue Lantern (short Story)
''Blue Lantern'' (russian: «Синий фонарь») is a short story by Victor Pelevin, published in 1991. Plot The plot of the story is simple enough, the boys on vacation in a pioneer camp tell terrible stories to each other.

The blue color is identified in the narrative with something scary and frighte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
