Uncommon card · No. 148408

"Viy" (Russian: Вий, IPA: [ˈvʲij]; pronounced in English), also translated as "The Viy", is a horror novella by the writer Nikolai Gogol, first published in volume 2 of his collection of tales entitled Mirgorod (1835). Despite an author's note alluding to folklore, the title character is generally conceded to be wholly Gogol's invention.
