The author of this book grew up hearing stories. For many years, four friends would get together after a day's work on the field and, equipped with a guitar and a thermos of coffee, would sit around a fire telling stories about lost souls, wraiths and beings from another world. These storytellers transmitted their knowledge to their listeners: relatives, friends, acquaintances, employees ¿ or whoever sat around the fire circle. And this is how this book came about. Legends like the Dry-Corpse, Saci, the Werewolf and many other fabulous characters are all over these pages.
