    Annotation The author of the article studied vivid examples on the use of false ending in epic genres of literature in order to determine its functions. In general, the transition of particular functional properties of the false ending was traced. The researcher introduces the concept of “inverted”, in order to explain a special principle of constructing a false ending, illustrating his theory using examples from the novels of O. Henry. Parody, irony, inversion, silence, ambiguity, game with reading expectation in the ending of novells of O. Henry become a typical schemes for the author when he builds a false ending. Moreover, they become typical, universal for a whole series of works by O. Henry's followers and for novella as a genre. In addition to its main function - misleading - the false ending in the novella can have additional functions, among which are most often found: parody, irony, sarcasm, game with reading attention and expectation. The common game with the reading expectation of the junction in the novella gets a new life in the modernist novel, while acquiring new, typical for the novels of the 20th century, features of modernistic game. For example, the false ending in V. Nabokov 's novel «Mashenka« acquires the patriotic pathos typical for V. Nabokov and russian emigrants.
