The Wanderer. Scary Tales

Do you know the legend of the Wanderer? Long ago, the Black Sun rose in the sky and poisoned human blood. From that day on, anyone who yields to vice becomes a monster—no longer able to control themselves. Goblins and winged flyers, mavkas and kikimoras, werewolves and mermaids—each of them is cursed, once human. “Impure blood is impure power,” people say. “And only the Wanderer can grant them true death.”

The stories collected in this book are not only tales about monsters. They are Slavic folklore in the atmosphere of a dark world—a world where monsters reign, once having been people. Don’t be afraid of the gods—they were invented by humans, and they are just as mortal as you.
