A 2004 Russian provincial horror novel by Oleg Divov. Aside from "Russian provincial horror", it has also been described as "a truthful story about vampires" and "a combination of "rural prose" and "urban prose", a mixture of genres" and "a novel about choosing your path". Ultimately, it's a witty and original take on a trope-laden genre (possibly several trope-laden genres) with some really vivid descriptions, some kick-ass action scenes and plenty of memorable characters.
