A collection of modern horror fiction featuring twenty contemporary voices from across Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, the Faroe Islands and Greenland.
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.
