		Andreyev, of the three writers, was closest to the modernists, though he followed in the realist tradition as "an epigone of Tolstoy in his moral polemics."[98] The surreal textures of Andreyev's writings and his willingness to challenge accepted aesthetic standards caused him to be associated with the modernist schools.

	Noctem
		Andreyev's story tells what happened to Lazarus after Jesus raised him from the dead: the thing which has come out of the grave is not the same as the warm, humane man who went in.
		Andreyev shows us in the face of Lazarus the kind of world-shattering horror that H.P. Lovecraft attempted, but rarely achieved; this is because Andreyev understood that our inner sense of the void is much more terrifying than any outward projection of the imagination.
		Andreyev's use of the familiar New Testament story is anything but Christian in its implications, and in fact, when Caesar Augustus asks Lazarus if he is a Christian, the man Jesus brought back from death answers: "No."

		He has made concretely vivid an abstraction; he has arrested for an instant the ceaseless, unmeasurable flood of eternity; he has enclosed in a small frame the boundless void of the infinite.
