The Beast-Skinned Demon and the Blood Flowers

Poor Kyryk works the land of a selfish farmer, digging turnips for a living. When one day he injures himself, he discovers that his drops of blood have left him with a pot of coins. But what will happen when the rich landowner decides to steal the money for himself?

In this spare and haunting retelling of a Ukrainian grandmother’s fairytale, The Beast Skinned Demon and the Blood Flowers is illustrated by the wonderful illustrations of Ukrainian artist Sergii Shkloliar. It forms a part of the Storyberries Dark Fairy Tales Collection.
