The Dark Side of Saint Petersburg

A horror guide to the darkest, most ominous, and mystical places of Russia’s Northern capital. It’s as if the stories of these places are covered in moss, cobwebs, and a thick layer of dust, hiding the terrible myths of the city on the Neva. And there—beneath the layer of decay—one can make out the shadows of ghosts from the Finland Station; in damp underground tunnels the White Digger prowls, and in the dark the eyes of cannibals glow; there, in icy waters, the Bog Woman strangles Princess Tarakanova; there burns the torch of the Black Monk, setting a cholera hospital on fire along with people… Take this book with you as you head to Petersburg, and you’ll be able to learn its darkest side.
