Andrzej Sapkowski who introduced myths, fairy tales and contemporary stereotypical thinking into his novels about “Wiedźmin” and created beautiful epic stories about love, hatred, passion and betrayal.
Feliks W. Kres, one of the first fantasy authors in Poland, writes novels of amoral and brutal nature and his characters are often ruled by basic instincts and desires.
Writers such as Rowling, Pratchett, and Gaiman in Britain and in Poland Sapkowski, Kres and Pilipiuk are increasingly popular.
Pilipiuk najbardziej znany jest ze swojego kultowego, wykazującego w pewnym stopniu cechy gawędy, cyklu opowiadań o przygodach Jakuba Wędrowycza- zamieszkującego w Starym Majdanie koło Wojsławic plugawego degenerata, bimbrownika i egzorcysty.
Od tego czasu Pilipiuk napisał kilkadziesiąt innych opowiadań z tego cyklu, wydanych w pięciu zbiorach (Kroniki Jakuba Wędrowycza (2002), Czarownik Iwanow (2002), Weźmisz czarno kure (2002), Zagadka Kuby Rozpruwacza (2004) i Wieszać każdy może (2006).
Pilipiuk, jak sam twierdzi, wywodzi się w połowie ze szlachty kozackiej.
