The Slavic Bestiary: Creatures of Night and Nightmare (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798267381505)

The real monsters have been patient. They've been waiting. And they remember every slight, every broken promise, every violation of the old agreements.

It's time you remembered them too.

Welcome to the heart of Slavic darkness.

--------------------------------------
Real vampires were bloated corpses that reeked of decay. And the forest spirits of Slavic folklore were far more terrifying than anything Hollywood ever imagined.

The Slavic Bestiary reveals the authentic monsters behind the myths, drawn from centuries of Eastern European folklore. Discover the creatures that terrorized villages long before they became romantic movie heroes.

From Koschei's impossible hiding place for his own death to the water spirits who collected souls in clay jars, these are the original stories that gave birth to our modern nightmares and they're far stranger than fiction.
