The definitive English language translation of the internationally acclaimed Russian novel-a brilliant dark fantasy combining psychological suspense, enchantment, and terror that makes us consider human existence in a fresh and provocative way. It’s a book that has the potential to become a modern classic of its genre, and I couldn’t be more excited to see it get the global audience in English it so richly deserves.” - Lev Grossmanīest Books of November 2018 - Paste Magazine ![]() ![]() “ Vita Nostra has become a powerful influence on my own writing. “Vita Nostra” - a cross between Lev Grossman’s “The Magicians” and Elizabeth Kostova’s “The Historian” is the anti-Harry Potter you didn’t know you wanted.” - The Washington Post ![]()

Since that night a voice haunts her nightmares and snakes out to torment when she is alone and vulnerable.

I have vague memories of a direct-to-video movie where Tim Curry plays Gomez. I regularly watched the 1992 animated series in syndication, as well as the 1998 live-action “New Addams Family” series that committed the egregious crime of changing the iconic theme song. Though these movies are the entries into the “Addams Family” canon I am most familiar with, I actually grew up watching this creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky family on TV. The mom and dad are constantly getting into stupid misunderstandings, can sometimes barely tolerate each other, and ugh, in-laws, amirite?
