The book "Stories and Myths from Serifos" highlights the dark stories and mysteries surrounding the island. The traditional narratives, with fairies, ghosts, and demons, create an atmosphere of horror that is passed down from generation to generation. The presence of guardian angels, protective entities that advise and warn the inhabitants, is also emphasized. With an understanding of cultural richness, the book showcases the wealth of local legends and religious beliefs, capturing an effort to preserve tradition for future generations.

In detail:

Every place has its own dark stories and elements. These can take the form of an invisible and dark presence, a ghost, or even a demon. Of course, each region also includes its own guardian angels, who appear to protect, guide, and warn the inhabitants.

Adults, especially grandparents, used to frighten their grandchildren by telling them stories with fairies and spirits. Their purpose was to make the children return home early. Even today, the older residents of Serifos advise children to start their way home when the sun begins to set and the lights come on in the neighborhoods.

Our grandmother told us stories of this kind, as did people from the island, from the time when they were young and the older ones scared the children. The stories refer to various local legends and are also related to the religious faith of the local residents. The following book is an attempt to keep these stories and myths of the island alive.
