Orest Somov is an undeservedly forgotten contemporary of Alexander Pushkin, Nikolai Gogol and Mikhail Lermontov. He dreamt that people would see the wild beauty of Slavic folklore, feel its seductive and terrifying atmosphere, where people live alongside the unclean as an equal force. This collection is a guide to a world where reality alternates with fiction, and fear becomes a faithful companion.
Slavic folklore with mermaids, werewolves, devils, witches and the dead.
