Forget the bright fairy tales from childhood—this book returns to the very foundations of Russian folklore, where an ancient, soul-chilling darkness reigns.
Leave behind the familiar good stories and get ready to peer into the true, dark depths of folk legends. Born in harsh times, these plots know almost no comforting magic.
On the pages, ominous faces of Baba Yaga, Koshchei the Immortal, treacherous witches, the dead, and upirs rise to life—in all their primal, frightening power.
These are terrifying Russian fairy tales, where mystical creatures and legends hold absolute sway, from which the blood runs cold.
