"Some areas of the Slav world get little attention in English-language witchcraft
studies, although publications in Slav languages have increased in quantity

have no competence in Slavic languages. Kateryna Dysa’s thoughtful and detailed,
narrowly focused book deals with witchcraft trials in the western part of Ukraine in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries."
