Alexander Vargo


Alexander Vargo is an official pseudonym used by group of Russian horror writers whose books are published by Eksmo publishing house in the Myst series.

History

Vargo's first novel, The Cook, was released in 2003. For several years readers thought that Alexander Vargo was a real author, but soon a rumor appeared that a whole group of writers was standing behind this name.
The rumor was proved true in the beginning of 2011 when Darker magazine released an interview with a few authors of the "Vargo"-team and they confirmed that the real Alexander Vargo never existed and the series was just a publisher's project. The name of the original "Vargo"-writer is Sergey Dyomin. Several of "Vargo's" books were also written by Igor Isaichev and Alexei Sholokhov.
