The celebrated scary fairy tales ofÂ Russiaâ€™s preeminent contemporary fiction writerâ€”the author of the prizewinning memoir about growing up in Stalinist Russia,Â 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 Russiaâ€”or anywhere else in the worldâ€”today.
