    "description": "<p><em>Enter the long forgotten world of Flemish folktales and dance on a dark tune with spirits who live in the wind, monsters who lurk in rivers, ghosts, devils, witches, and other unearthly creatures as they take you to the woods, the towns, the fields, and the sea.</em></p><p>A witch prefers the company of her owls over her neighbors and has a night of eerie fun, a man\u2019s corpse is stolen by devils and his coffin filled with stones, a skeleton is invited to a sumptuous dinner, a shapeshifter chases terrified souls over the meadows and a cursed buzzard hunts beasts and men. These are just a couple of the beings who haunt this collection of Flemish folktales.</p><p>This new retelling of thirty-six stories remains truthful to the original tales as they were once told around the fireside many moons ago. Breathing new life into age-old lore, these reimaginings give a voice to the shunned witches, explore the inner thoughts of creatures ostensibly described as grisly and ghastly, and immerse readers in the harrowing experiences of those unwantedly thrust into frightful narratives.</p><p>Prepare for a beautiful and dark journey, where each step may lead you into the sometimes chilling, often strange, and eternally enchanting realms of Flanders.</p>",
