Publisher's summary

Three neighboring villages on the Ukrainian/Romanian border are the final refuge for the last of the mythical creatures of Eastern Europe. Now, on the eve of the war that may eradicate their kind - and with the ruthless Night Police descending upon their sanctuary - they tell their stories and confront their destinies.

Eerie and unsettling like the best fairy tales, these incisor-sharp portraits of ghosts, witches, sirens, and seers - and the mortals who live at their side and in their thrall - will chill your marrow and tear at your heart.

Different; incredible; very well read.

I didn’t know what to expect from this book since it has rather mixed reviews but I was fascinated by the topic so I gave it a go.
Wow, I’m sure happy I did! We are presented with a collection of tales that create a bigger story full of Eastern European folklore. Go for it: you won’t regret it!

Not worth a credit

I was intrigued by the sample story, but disappointed by the others the collection. Although okay in places, the performance became irritating and was not well done overall. I couldn't listen to more then an hour of this.

Unintelligible

Victor Bevine is great, as always. However, though there are some really cool and exciting themes and actions involved in this story, I found it almost completely and wildly unintelligible.
