The familiar world is only a thin veil over ancient evil. Magic hasn’t died, because witches and sorcerers are not characters from fairy tales—they are a living threat. They live among us, watch, and wait. Their power destroys bodies and twists souls; their magic is braided into everyday life, turning it into a lingering nightmare. Darkness takes unexpected forms—from grim rituals in forgotten villages to sorcery hiding in megacities. Every story in Albina Nuri’s new collection is a window into a terrible reality. Open this book, but be careful: some nightmares can escape beyond the pages! Get ready to look at your neighbors in a whole new way!
