A Unique Speculative Fiction Collection From The Nordic Countries
Storytelling has been a major force in the Nordic countries for
thousands of years, renowned for its particular sense of dark
humour, featuring pacts with nature and a view of the worlds you
seldom find in other places. Perhaps it is the freezing cold
winter? The closeness to the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic? Maybe
it’s the huge ancient forests... Most have heard about Nordic
crime fiction with its dark noir flare or the Icelandic Sagas. This
anthology combines all that is unique about Nordic speculative
fiction, from the darkest dystopian science fiction to terrifying
horror. From the rational to the eccentric, these stories combine a
deep sense of place with social criticism, themes of loneliness and
the concern for humanity's impact on the wilderness. Featuring 16
stories from the best contemporary speculative authors from
Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and The Faroe Islands,
including John Ajvide Lindqvist, Hannu Rajaniemi, Tor Ã…ge
Bringsværd and more, many of which are appearing in English for
the very first time.
