The much-anthologized tale “Lazarus”, by Russian writer Leonid Andreyev
(1871-1919), explores the possible aftermath of this famous Biblical
event - and is one of the most profoundly chilling works of fiction
I’ve ever read. As a work of desolate existential horror it would seem
to be without peer, a work that plays on man’s worst fears of his own
mortality and what awaits on the other side, “the void”, “the horror of
the infinite”, which this tale hints at with alarming power.
