Book recommendations about Russian superstitions

[Brian Hayden]

Dear SEELANGers,

Does anyone know of any good books about Russian superstitions and folk
beliefs? It's not only the old rural superstitions ( things like "close one
eye, turn around and look between your legs during Divine Liturgy on Good
Friday and you'll see your one true love", etc.), but also the modern ones
that interest me -- lucky bus tickets, never shaking hands across a
threshold, etc. I'd like to read something in Russian, preferably, but
English recommendations are also welcome.

Sincerely,

Brian Hayden
