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.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Andrey Luzgin, a Moscow journalist, plans to visit his home village near a provincial Russian town not far from the capital during the summer to clear his mind. Along the way there he hears more and more ominous rumours about weird happenings in the town and the countryside alike, though most people he tries to talk about it with either don't know too much about it themselves or obviously know more than they are willing to say. Much of the first of the novel's three parts takes place in the village, where Luzgin gradually begins to find out more about the situation, and suspect so much more beside; also, he helps the villagers capture one of the main weird things involved, only for this capture to turn into a major moral dilemma for the journalist himself, one that causes him to go into the city itself. Soon after which point he finally gets wrapped up in the actual main plot of the novel directly, which has to do with an out of control vampire infestation in the town. The story really picks off then and only gets better from there, as Luzgin and the captured werewolf both become involved in the anti-vampire operations together with several other unlikely allies, as they try to track down and eliminate the eponymous "Night Watcher" who is behind the current outbreak.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

| Night Watcher / int_6411dac8 | comment |
Badass Normal: The human Night Teams would probably qualify in general; the one seen in the book itself certainly does, seeing as it consists of just two cops (Captain Kotov and Sergeant Zykov, each badass in his own ways) that nonetheless are capable of fighting vampires in top shape when needed (though they generally prefer to kill them in their sleep, of course). | |

| Night Watcher / int_a11f8240 | comment |
Bad Cop/Incompetent Cop: The city militsiya force is systematically and thoroughly corrupt, to the point where its commander was planning to use vampires in a power ploy against The Mafiya. This plan was only changed when his ''daughter'' was raped and turned into a vampire. | |

Achilles' Heel | |
| Night Watcher / int_d7639dba | comment |
Achilles' Heel: Silver is this for vampires; subverted in that there are other, more conventional ways to kill a vampire, this is just much more certain and foolproof. | |
