[{"id":99420,"title":"Haunted Greece","subtitle":"Nymphs, Vampires and Other Exotica","description":"In \"Haunted Greece\" John L. Tomkinson takes you on a journey into the dark regions of the Hellenic folk memory. Here you will meet the fearful strangles, who murder infants in their cots; beautiful nymphs who entice young men into insanity: the dead who climb out of their graves to prey upon their friends and relatives; the mischievous demons who emerge from the underworld during the twelve nights of Christmas; ax-heated serpents which haunt churches and foretell death; the rainbow-plumaged bird whose flight signals imminent catastrophe; and many even more terrible creatures. Some of these may have haunted the imagination of this most inventive people for more than three millennia.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b101949.jpg","isbn":"960-88087-0-7","isbn13":"978-960-88087-0-6","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":173,"publication_year":2004,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":null,"price_updated_at":null,"cover_type":"Μαλακό
