This was an amazing collection of 13 short stories! The stories are all very reminiscent of a good old-fashioned ghost story. Each eerie tale centers around fishing or a watery landscape. There's rusalkas, mysterious apparitions appearing by the banks of rivers, and it's got a bit of history woven into the stories.

Each story had a fantastic cast of characters; they all seemed to come to life in such a short time.
