Michael finds a magical coin that takes him to strange and increasingly dangerous places simply by putting it in his pocket. He is convinced that he can always get back to where he started by simply taking the coin out of his pocket. But the existence of evil forces does not depend on one's belief in them, nor does one's own paranoia. On the one hand, the text is a fantasy thriller full of strange events, unexpected pitfalls and life-threatening dangers. On the other hand, it explores psychological and philosophical questions about the nature of reality: Are our own fears real, or does interpersonal perception determine the concept of reality? In the latter case, someone who is not affected by a mass psychosis is not living in reality, while the deluded masses behave in accordance with reality.
If, on the other hand, we define an individual's paranoid behavior as his reality, then this novel is not fantasy, but realistic literature. Hence the subtitle: A Fantastic Near-life Novel.
