When the world was still very young, darkness enveloped it, and monsters dwelled within it. Antiquity, which had been the cradle of culture and art, also served as a cradle for unprecedented and incomprehensible horrors—many of which survived their age, hiding to this day in the darkest corners of the Earth. Crete is the most mystical island of Greece and the largest fragment of an once-great civilization. In its waters, one who is doomed to die seeks to find eternal peace. But in this ancient land, death must still be earned. By going together with a sphinx cat through the realm of Aida, confronting a ravenous abyss, an ancient sect of child-killers, and the very Legion.
Read this anthology—and you will understand why the ancients feared the dark so much. The book is based on ancient myths about Apollo Lykeios, Lamia, and Ligeya, as well as the biblical story of the Gadarene exorcism.
