Czech demonology

A dozen terrible haunts of Bohemia, Moravia and Silesia

We all know them. Since time immemorial. From a young age. We used to meet them in the woods, in castles and castles and maybe even at home under the bed. Scarecrows. It has been in the Czech lands for as long as our ancestors can remember, and perhaps even longer. And although modern fairy tales have transformed them into often cute forms, they were originally fierce, vengeful and bloodthirsty creatures. Why is it not worth answering a heckler's hoot, what forms can a hawk take, and who should definitely avoid the icebox? These and other questions will be answered by a unique overview of twelve Czech haunts. The author Jan Kravčík drew from hundreds of Czech and German written tales, the book was embellished with impressive pictures by Latvian illustrator Līga Kļaviņa-Raiska.
