The Door in Winter This collection includes new stories and a short story of 2022-2023 by Dmytro Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhensky, who write under the joint pseudonym "Henry Lyon Oldie".
These are works from the time of the full-scale war that Russia started against Ukraine. In these texts, the reality of everyday life in war is intertwined with mysticism and fiction, human tragedies with hope, and cruel and extreme trials with humanity and compassion. The heroes of Oldie's stories are mostly ordinary people like you and me. Old and young, civilian and military, living and dead - Ukrainians who were lucky enough to live in our harsh times. But each of them has its own inner core, and each of them somehow finds the strength to resist the aggression, evil and despair that has befallen Ukraine.
Dmytro Gromov and Oleg Ladyzhenskyi (Henry Lyon Oldie) are world-famous Ukrainian writers, authors of many fiction and fantasy books, the best fiction writers of Europe in 2006 (ESFS Award), laureates of the National Prize of Ukraine for Fiction and the honorary award "Golden Writer of Ukraine" ", as well as many other Ukrainian and foreign literary awards.
