Grim Classics Series #15.
GrimTales proudly presents a 3D Web Book edition of Nikolai Gogol’s legendary tale of Slavic folklore and supernatural terror, The Viy.
First published in 1835, The Viy is one of Gogol’s most celebrated works, blending elements of dark fantasy, folklore, and gothic horror. The story follows Khoma Brut, a seminary student compelled to spend three nights praying over the body of a young woman in a remote village church. As darkness falls, the dead rise, and malevolent spirits descend upon him. On the final night, the monstrous figure of the Viy—whose gaze brings instant death—emerges in one of the most terrifying climaxes in early horror literature.
This 3D Web Book edition preserves the power of Gogol’s chilling prose while presenting it in an immersive, collectible format. Hosted securely online, it requires no downloads, resists duplication, and is available exclusively through GrimTales’ independent distribution in partnership with Miskatonic Books.
Enhancing the reading experience, the edition features an embedded audiobook, allowing readers to move seamlessly between text and narration. The atmospheric performance brings Gogol’s nightmarish vision vividly to life, while the interactive 3D design amplifies the claustrophobic terror of the haunted church.
More than a reprint, this edition is a resurrection of one of the great works of world horror fiction—an encounter with folklore, faith, and fear that continues to echo nearly two centuries after its first publication.
