Vidin in "The Bleeding Moon"[]

Vidin was a collection point for the annual tribute demanded by the Turks during their occupation of Bulgaria. After the village of Gramada drove off a vurkolak, the headman Symeon visited Vidin, and learned that the vurkolak had begun preying on Kula. As the men of Kula had created the vurkolak by murdering a Gramada youth named Todor, no one in Gramada had much sympathy.
