For as long as I can remember, I’ve always liked scary stories. I’ve always been a geek, I loved Lovecraft, Edgar PoE, and of course Stephen King. I always thought there was more life in horror stories than in ordinary stories. A couple of years ago I just turned on the stories of different peoples of the world, I collected all the old legends, «terrible» of Volcker, urban stories from around the world, Asia, Europe, Latin America and the United States. I was wondering what people from different countries are afraid of. At me as if something was found, I searched and studied for several months, like I was led to this, more than just interest. It was as if something was pushing me to look, and I soon found what I was subconsciously looking for in all these terrible stories-similarity. Each country has its own flavor, its own special monsters, and at the same time there is some terrible similarity between all.
I excitedly told my friends about such similarities, for me there was some discovery :
Water and goblins (owners of waters and forests)
Child-eating witches, vampires
Werewolves-bears and werewolves-wolves
And a lot of monsters, similar to each other, even if they are from different countries.
All these similarities, all these stories from different parts of the world, in which there is something in common, they seem to give hope to the crazy geek that in the world there really is something more remote, something more than our everyday life.
One day I decided to make my own list of scary stories and in this book I want to share our horrors and our color, as if I was telling these stories to a friend, perhaps from the other side of the world.
Here in Russia we are afraid of many things, perhaps, as lots of people are.
