The Scariest Book. Black Tales

Oh, these tales. Oh, these storytellers!.. In ancient times, people did not know good tales. Tales have long been gloomy and frightening stories about death, violence, and black magic. In them, unfortunate rulers were boiled alive, children were starved, and... orphans had their limbs cut off. And even the Little Mermaid by H. C. Andersen drank the blood of the sea witch before losing her tongue and going ashore to 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, there are both modern variations of the famous tales of the Shamakhan Queen, Little Red Riding Hood, and the Mermaid, as well as completely new, original, and unique stories based on the folklore of various countries and peoples. The fruits of the wild imagination of authors such as Oleg Kozhin, Alexander Matyukhin, Mike Gelprin, Dmitry Tikhonov, Oksana Vetlovskaya, and many, many others have been collected into one large and very scary collection by the well-known 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…
