Shadows by the Fire

Rainy day, soft armchair, steam rising from a cup of fragrant tea, warm blanket, and seven stories - autumnally gloomy, mysterious, filled with the rustle of fallen leaves and the muted howling of the wind. About the chthonic dwellers of St. Petersburg; about Slavic evil spirits; about a she-wolf whose veins carry the blood of the pack leader; about a forest dweller who once saved a girl; about a barber, his mysterious visitors, and his own secrets. Also about the house where shadows live.
