Рубрика: additional materials

Late autumn feels like the right season for speaking of dark and ambivalent creatures. During the summer months, we studied various sources on Russian household spirits, and we are currently trying to assemble them into a series of several episodes, for they can’t fit into a single one.

But before we let you sink your teeth into the stories themselves, it seems prudent to clarify some details.

Welcome, gentle traveller.
You’ve reached a checkpoint.

Since we are currently at a dig site re-arranging and translating the materials for the actual episodes, it feels unfair to leave you in complete darkness for the time being. Our stories may not be guiding lights out of the dark — quite the opposite; and one can only wonder where they might lead you. Nevertheless, we want to grant you a humble offering in form of the bonus episodes, containing some of the unabridged Russian fairy tales told the way they were recorded back in XIX century.

Those we chose to bring to you belong to the land of the public domain. The translation dates back to the times when some of the words of both Russian and English languages used to have a different meaning. We are going to be your companion guides for each of these stories. After all, it is dangerous to venture forth alone: take our notes with you.

Thank you for following this path.
We’ll meet again.
