The novella describes the horrors of war through the perception of two brothers - an officer returning from the front and his brother, a writer. War is presented not as a heroic battle, but as a senseless bloody slaughter that drives people mad and gives birth to the phantom of 'Red Laugh' - a symbol of universal insanity and cruelty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe protagonists struggle to maintain their sanity in a world where the lines between reality and nightmare are blurred, and blood soaks everything.
