Marko the Damned
In the haunting and gothic landscape of 1640s Ukraine, Marko the Damned (1879) by Oleksa Storozhenko weaves a chilling tale of rebellion, betrayal, and the supernatural. Set against the backdrop of the kozak struggle for freedom, this gripping novel follows the harrowing journey of Marko, a kozak warrior ensnared by dark forces. As the kozaky rise up against their oppressors, Marko finds himself torn between loyalty to his comrades and a cursed destiny that threatens to consume him. With every step, he battles both the homeland’s enemies and the sinister powers that seek to claim his soul. Storozhenko’s masterful storytelling plunges readers into a world of eerie shadows and moral dilemmas, where the fight for freedom intertwines with a descent into the macabre. Marko the Damned is a captivating exploration of human resilience and the unyielding spirit of the kozaky, destined to leave readers both enthralled and unsettled.
The Witches of Kyiv
In The Witches of Kyiv and Other Gothic Tales by Orest Somov the supernatural is present throughout Ukraine, from a cemetery in Kyivan Rus, to an isolated forest cottage in the seventeenth century Kozak era, to the society ballrooms of Somov’s own world – the early nineteenth century. Gothic horror appears in many guises including witches, warlocks, demons and vengeful ‘rusalka’. Strange soothsayers and malevolent visitors represent the forces of good and evil. In her foreword Dr Svitlana Krys describes Somov “as an initiator of an indigenous literary tradition of the Gothic in the Ukrainian literary canon”. Native folk traditions, ghost stories and European Romanticism are twisted together in Somov’s imaginative tales, most of which are published here in English for the first time.
Zhanna the Battalion Soldier
Based on actual historical events, Zhanna the Battalion Soldier is an intense, emotionally charged novel set against the turmoil of World War I and the revolution in the Russian empire. Zhanna, a beautiful and captivating young woman, romanticises war, seeing herself as a modern Joan of Arc, destined to defend her homeland. But what is homeland, and who decides its fate? As she fights alongside women of all walks of life—prostitutes, war widows, and more—Zhanna is forced to confront the harsh realities of the front life, far from the heroic ideals she once imagined. By her side is her loyal, or not so much, cat, whom she takes to the front, a silent companion amidst the chaos. Though man...
Folk Horror
While the undisputed heyday of folk horror was Britain in the 1960s and 1970s, the genre has not only a rich cinematic and literary prehistory, but directors and novelists around the world have also been reinventing folk horror for the contemporary moment. This study sets out to rethink the assumptions that have guided critical writing on the genre in the face of such expansions, with chapters exploring a range of subjects from the fiction of E. F. Benson to Scooby-Doo, video games, and community engagement with the Lancashire witches. In looking beyond Britain, the essays collected here extend folk horror’s geographic terrain to map new conceptualisations of the genre now seen emerging from Italy, Ukraine, Thailand, Mexico and the Appalachian region of the US.
First Wave Emigrants
This book presents the history of the Ukrainian settlement in Australia and associated subjects, such as the role of the Diaspora in maintaining Ukrainian identity, and an analysis of various aspects of Ukrainian literature and culture, both synchronic and diachronic. The conference at which the papers in this volume were presented was one of the many manifestations of a wish by Ukrainian scholars and community members alike, to mark the fiftieth anniversary of Ukrainian settlement in Australia.
