The folklore in general is captivating, especially when it comes to the less documented side of it, the stories told by the common people around the rural parts of the world, their mind-sets and the way we perceive them today. There are plenty of ghouls, werewolves, mutants, various anthropomorphic inventions or simply human beings possessing a rich imagination that love to haunt the people’s dreams and souls. 
“Dreadful Folktales from the Land of Nosferatu” is the name of an exhibition based on black ink illustrations created by Romanian graphic artist Costin Chioreanu. The works he made for this series freeze certain moments in various tales that he heard from the mouths of some close friends who happen to recollect some magical happenings encountered by their elders. The illustrator’s perspective reaches a surrealistic level within this series and catches the viewer with some awe-inspiring legends or some true otherworldly deeds that some individuals lived. The viewer could learn about the context of the tales illustrated by Chioreanu by reading a small book written by Gina Săndulescu. The book comes with the same title as the exhibition and includes six tales, an introduction, illustrations and the conclusion written by the graphic artist, all printed on hardbound art paper. 
“Dreadful Folktales from the Land of Nosferatu” exhibition and book release took place on the 24th of June at Barbarista, in Bergen, Norway. That night was marked by ghoulish tunes since Costin Chioreanu, Bjørnar Erevik Nilsen, and Ørniz aka Jørn Tunsberg wanted to make sure that the atmosphere will become wicked and thus, they played some horror metal music.
