Russian Folkloric Demonology

How to grow a fire snake? How to вернуть (return) a werewolf to a human form? What awaits the drowned man in captivity with the water sprite?

These questions were pressing for our ancestors, who saw various kinds of evil spirits as restless but familiar neighbors. Mermaids, werewolves, kikimoras, and other creatures lived right nearby—in the forest, in the fields, even in the house. Researchers of folklore collected and preserved for us many stories about encounters with the evil forces and beliefs about how one should deal with them.
Relying on this material, the author of the book assembles, piece by piece, a frightening yet vivid and captivating picture of Russian demonology.
