Discover the masters of Nordic horror... if you dareYou 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 Kn�tsd�ttir, Pasi Ilmari J��skel�inen, Martin Schj�nning, Rakel Helmsdal, Johanna Sinisalo, Markus Sk�ld, Boel Bermann, Jon Ewo, Aleksander Brun, Madeleine B�ck, Nanna Arnadottir, Pivinnguaq Morch, Mikkel Harris Carlsen, AR Frederiksen, S�lr�n Michelsen, Gertrud-Marie Kreutzmann, and Tor �ge Bringsv�rd.
