𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐭 is a Hungarian novel I think it’s categorized as dark fantasy but I would definitely consider this more as a horror book.

𝐅𝐨𝐱, 𝐁𝐚𝐝𝐠𝐞𝐫, 𝐖𝐨𝐥𝐟, 𝐂𝐚𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐧, 𝐏𝐢𝐠 - this is their tale a very gruesome, wicked and tragic tale. Wow, this book was brutal. I didn’t know what to expect going into this book. My previous reads were let downs so I just wanted to have a great time reading this one and let me tell you, I had a fantastic time! I truly never read anything similar to this one. 

This definitely not for the faint of heart but if you’re a Hungarian horror lover looking for something totally different and raw then don’t hesitate to pick this book up. It was a masterpiece.
