Summary/Abstract: The paper interprets the short stories from the collection From the Dark Vilayet in order to decode the mythical and folklore layer in the narrative world of Momčilo Nastasijević. Examining the storytelling technique, the presence of motifs from folk tradition, ritual and mythical symbolism, the archaic character of Nastasijević’s prose is pointed out as its peculiarity, and the phenomenon of modernist prose in folklore clothing is observed. Folkloric elements figure as an indispensable segment for understanding and interpreting the creativity of Momčilo Nastasijević.
