Between the Name and the Silence is a quiet, haunting collection of stories where Ukrainian myths cross oceans and learn to breathe in Canadian landscapes.

Set in Calgary, the forests of Alberta and British Columbia, the Prairies, and the still waters of Lake Louise, these seven interconnected stories follow people who live “in between”: between languages, between past and present, between what is remembered and what was never properly named. Drawing on Ukrainian folklore—mavkas, domovyks, rusalky, and the unburied—the book explores how old mythic figures adapt to migration, loss, and resettlement, not as fantasy creatures but as living forms of memory.
