The West Knows Dracula.
Eastern Europe Knows Something Older.
The Spirits & Creatures series delves into the hidden world of spirits and supernatural beings from across Eastern Europe. Author Ronesa Aveela grew up in Bulgaria, where these entities were woven into everyday life through the stories her grandmother told—tales meant to explain the unknown, warn the unwary, and preserve ancient beliefs.
Each book explores the origins of these beings and the traditional methods people believed could placate, banish, or survive encounters with them. Illustrated and enriched with stories, music, and video, the series brings folklore to life in an immersive way. Though informed by academic research, these books are not written for scholars, but for curious readers who wish to glimpse the powerful creatures that once shaped belief—and, in many places, still do.

Discover Eastern European spirits and supernatural beings in this immersive hardcover series. Spirits & Creatures combines folklore, illustrations, and traditional tales from Bulgaria and beyond for readers curious about myth, magic, and ancient belief.

Before we take our well-needed break after a productive year, we wanted to wish you all a happy and blessed Christmas or whatever holiday you may celebrate during this festive time. Thank you all for your support for our endeavors this year and many before this. Last year we started a new tradition. We took the month of December off from writing and related author activities in order to spend time with our families and get caught up with many other things that fell by the wayside as we concentrated on our books. It was a good tradition to have and let us rejuvenate.
