Vassa in the Night is a modern retelling of the Russian tale Vasillissa the Beautiful. It is a Baba Yaga story. In this case, the chicken hut is instead a chain of convenience stores. I loved that the saying to get into the chicken hut is turned into a store jingle that customers still have to say to get the store to kneel. I like the idea of a bright orange store with chicken feet. The BY is open all night long, and those nights keep getting longer.
