How to raise a fire serpent?
How to restore a werewolf to human form?
What awaits a drowned man in the captivity of a water spirit?

All these questions were quite pressing for our ancestors, who perceived various evil spirits as restless but familiar neighbors. Mermaids, werewolves, kikimoras, and other creatures lived very close by – in the forest, in the field, right in the house. Folklore researchers have collected and preserved for us numerous stories of encounters with evil spirits and beliefs about how to deal with them. Drawing on this material, the author of this book pieced together a frightening, yet vivid and captivating picture of Russian demonology.
