      About This Book

      New York Times Bestseller
      Winner of the World Fantasy Award
      One of New York magazine's 10 Best Books of the Year
      One of NPR's 5 Best Works of Foreign Fiction

      The celebrated scary fairy tales of Russia's preeminent contemporary fiction writer—the author of the prizewinning memoir about growing up in Stalinist Russia, The Girl from the Metropol Hotel

      Vanishings and aparitions, nightmares and twists of fate, mysterious ailments and supernatural interventions haunt these stories by the Russian master Ludmilla Petrushevskaya, heir to the spellbinding tradition of Gogol and Poe. Blending the miraculous with the macabre, and leavened by a mischievous gallows humor, these bewitching tales are like nothing being written in Russia—or anywhere else in the world—today.
