Peter's Monsters (Piterskie Monstry)

'Monsters of St. Petersburg' is Vera Soroka's debut book, a novel in short stories set in St. Petersburg. The real blends with the fantastic: alongside ordinary St. Petersburgers, this city is inhabited by monsters, transformed lions and lionesses, mermaids, nymphs, ghosts, and other fantastical creatures—all of whom have become an integral part of it.
