Description
Ludmila Petrushevskaya’s collection “There Once Was a Woman Who Wanted to Kill Her Neighbor’s Child” includes mystical stories, fairy tales, and frightening accounts with animated corpses and miraculous rescues.
Previously, this cycle was published under the title “Songs of the Eastern Slavs.” Its very simple, distinctive, almost folk-like phrasing misled some critics, who decided it was “raw material for urban ghost stories.” In that way, the author’s mystification succeeded. And the original source of the title was the famous Pushkin “Songs of the Western Slavs,” which in the 19th century were also taken for folklore.
In America, Ludmila Petrushevskaya’s book became a bestseller and brought the author the main worldwide award in fantasy literature—World Fantasy Award, the World Fantasy Prize.
