The Family of the Vourdalak: A Gothic Horror Tale

In the remote Serbian countryside of 1759, a young French diplomat finds himself entangled in a chilling tale of familial love twisted by ancient superstition.

As night falls on a secluded village, the air thick with dread, he witnesses a family's agonising vigil for their patriarch's return. But when the old man appears precisely at the appointed hour, an unsettling question arises: has he come back as the loving father they remember, or as something far more sinister?

Aleksei Tolstoy's "The Family of the Vourdalak" weaves a haunting narrative where the lines between the living and the undead blur, and where the warmth of hearth and home may conceal the coldest of horrors.

As I'm posting this, i realise that I've got my Alexei Tolstoy's mixed up. It should lead to some interesting comments!
