Polish![]() ![]() This is how Polish folklore creatures were created. The point is that our werewolf has specific characteristics that we have given it. Werewolves and devils are also found in other beliefs. After all, culture is the result of many factors. Is Polish folklore unique, however? Yes and no. ![]() They usually personified negative phenomena that happened to people, from the lighter ones such as lack of sleep, through all diseases, to night-time suffocation and drownings. So not just single creatures, but a whole host of Polish monsters, Polish demons and Polish mythical creatures came into being. The easiest explanation was to believe in the existence of higher, supernatural powers. In the early Middle Ages, many phenomena were beyond human comprehension. Where did Polish mythology creatures come from? The answer is simple: they were primarily to explain reality. ![]() Meet the 20 most terrifying Polish monsters. What kinds? The Slavic ones, of course, because Polish folklore creatures are among the cruelest and terrifying. Do you know the world-renowned game “The Witcher” by CD Projekt Red?

Is it “ring in the New Year” or “bring in the New Year”? Well, both. Rather, the apostrophe in “season’s greetings” is more accurately equated to the word “of.” 2 The apostrophe tells us that the greetings are regarding the current season (and all the holidays in it.) Apostrophes mark possession, but the degree can vary, which makes “season’s greetings” a bit counter-intuitive The glad tidings don’t belong to the season in the same way that Frosty’s top hat belongs to him. ![]() When writing the phrase, it is standard English to place the apostrophe after the N and before the S in “seasons.” Here’s a tip: The correct formatting is “Season’s Greetings”-with the apostrophe. ![]() 5/30/2023 0 Comments Stella gibbons![]() ![]() Westwood introduces the reader to the world of Gerard Challis, high ranking civil servant and experimental playwright, viewed through the adoring gaze of young teacher Margaret Steggles. Thanks to the efforts of writer Lynne Truss, Westwood enjoyed a revival in the form of a radio adaptation and was subsequently reissued by Vintage Classics in 2011. ![]() However, like her other twenty-five novels, Westwood was completely eclipsed by this early success and remained out of print for many years. The popular and financial success of Cold Comfort Farm, published that year, had allowed her to give up her first career in journalism. When Westwood was published, Gibbons had already been writing fiction full-time since 1932. As a local resident, Gibbons was well-placed to satirise the posturing and pretensions of the artistic types she draws her bead on in the novel. Stella Gibbons’s Westwood portrays life and manners in Highgate and Hampstead during the Second World War. ![]() 5/29/2023 0 Comments Ryan la sala reverie![]() ![]() Mars’s memories begin to falter, bleached beneath the relentless summer sun.

The use of magic and the fact that women are at the forefront of these gruesome conflicts is absolutely thrilling. ![]() The battles in Bloodwitch are the most exciting in the series so far. ![]() If there is one thing that I have come to expect from Susan Dennard’s writing, it is her ability to craft an amazing fight scene that is both gripping and intense.
