It’s not an easy task for one to find a good English book on Slavic mythology or customs, really! I know many sources worthy of attention written in Polish (that’s a prompt - learning a new language is always a good option!). In English though - that’s a different story! Luckily, doing my research I came across a few volumes in English that I can recommend you with a clear conscience:
1. “Creatures of Slavic Myth” for starters! It’s one of the books on Slavic mythology written by a Ukrainian author, Dmitriy Kushnir.

2. “Slavic Traditions & Mythology” by Stefan Cvetković

3. “Baba Yaga's Book of Witchcraft: Slavic Magic from the Witch of the Woods” by Madame Pamita

4. "Slavic and Kazakh Folklore Calendar: Typological and Ethno-Cultural Parallels" by Galina Vlasova
And here are some propositions from our backer, Pivowyn:
1. “The Bathhouse at Midnight: An Historical Survey of Magic and Divination in Russia” by W.F. Ryan
