Twelve tales from the dark side of the Russian imagination.

The dead who will not stay buried. A portrait whose painted eyes will not close. A village where, after dark, the living belong to the vourdalak. For a hundred years the great Russian writers returned to one threshold - the one between the living and the dead - and brought back some of the most unsettling fiction ever set down.

Russian Ghost Stories gathers twelve of those tales in new English translations, arranged in four movements. Pushkin's gambler hunts a secret worth a life. Gogol's seminarian keeps watch over a coffin that does not stay shut. Dostoevsky stoops to the chatter of the graveyard. Chekhov watches a brilliant man courted by a black monk who may be madness or may be grace. Andreyev follows Lazarus back out of the tomb and asks what a man carries home from the grave.
