Description

Discover the masters of Nordic horror… if you dare

You know them from the stories whispered around the campfire. Sometimes, they’re dark creatures from tall forests or murky bogs, luring their victims to their death, or the apocalyptic roar of a volcanic eruption. Other times, they’re closer to home: an unsettling new neighbour, or the overly friendly people you meet on the train, or the bureaucrat who thinks he’s saving the world.

Nordic Nightmares opens a window into the horror landscape of the Nordic countries, from Finland to Greenland. The anthology is expertly curated to showcase the work of twenty modern masters of horror to keep you company during long, cold nights.

Featuring stories by John Ajvide Lindqvist, Marko Hautala, Steinar Bragi, Hildur Knutsdottir, Pasi Ilmari Jaaskelainen, Martin Schjoenning, Rakel Helmsdal, Johanna Sinisalo, Markus Skoeld, Boel Bermann, Jon Ewo, Aleksander Brun, Madeleine Back, Nanna Arnadottir, Pivinnguaq Morch, Mikkel Harris Carlsen, AR Frederiksen, Solrun Michelsen, Gertrud-Marie Kreutzmann, and Tor Age Bringsvaerd.

Publisher Review

Reading it gave me one of the experiences I hope for when reading an anthology: the sense of a strong voice I haven’t encountered before * Locus *
