Unveil the Mythology of Slavic and Eastern Europe!
Journey into the haunted forests, snowbound steppes, and twilight villages of Eastern Europe with the Encyclopedia of Mythical Creatures Collection: Slavic and Eastern European Volume. This beautifully illustrated bestiary reveals a world of wonder and dread, where fiery dragons, eerie night spirits, and ancient guardians of land and water shaped centuries of folklore and belief.

From the bone-chilling wails of the Strzyga to the river-bound enchantments of the Rusalka, from the fearsome three-headed Zmey Gorynych to the mysterious household Domovoi, each entry explores the roots of stories passed down through generations. Drawing on medieval chronicles, oral traditions, and regional folklore, this volume brings to life the creatures that haunted villages, guarded sacred groves, and whispered through Slavic tales by firelight.
