The Scariest Book. Black Tales

Oh these tales. Oh these storytellers!.. In ancient times, people did not know kind tales. Tales have long been dark and frightening stories about death, violence, and black magic. In them, unfortunate noblemen were boiled alive, children were starved, and orphans had their limbs severed. Even The Little Mermaid by H. C. Andersen drank the blood of the sea witch before losing her tongue and going to the land of her beloved prince. Tales are the first horror stories… And now they return to you as they have always been and should be! In the anthology Black Tales, both modern variations of famous tales about the Shamakhan Queen, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Mermaid, as well as completely new, original, and unique stories based on the folklore of different countries and peoples are collected. The fruits of the wild imagination of authors such as Oleg Kožin, Alexander Matyukhin, Mike Gelprin, Dmitry Tikhonov, Oksana Vetlovskaya, and many, many others have been gathered into one large and very scary collection by the famous writer and compiler of horror anthologies M. S. Parfenov. There is no place for bright magic here, for these are tales for adults. Black, black tales…
