Sinopsis

Step into the dark and rich world of revenants, animal ghosts, and the clamoring and thieving wild hunt.

Out of Norse societies developed a belief in those who walked again, the revenants who came back in their earthly bodies to wreak havoc upon the living.

Unlike any other vættir in Scandinavian folklore, the dead came too close to the everyday lives of the living. They interfered in farming, travel, religion, justice, and even love. They loomed close by, interacting at will, always with their own agenda, often to the detriment of those they had once lived among.

Explore Scandinavian ghostlore through the cold and unforgiving revenants of the North. From the time of the sagas well into modern times, the dead rose from their graves seeking revenge, forgiveness, or to complete the simplest of tasks to be able to leave their haunting ways behind.

From the vengeful Norse draugr to the repentant yet eternally doomed boundary ghost, a strangely hopeful afterlife developed in a chaotic world where justice and peace ultimately lay in the hands of the living.

*This is a nonfiction book where the chapters on each creature include retellings of traditional Scandinavian short tales.
*Contains illustrations of each creature.
*Suitable for anyone interested in folklore and fairy tales, Scandinavian culture and history, or fantasy enthusiasts who wish to read about where creatures in modern novels come from.

Please note: that this is primarily a non-fiction book and not just a collection of tales.

Acerca del autor

G.K.Lund is an independent fantasy author with a love of old stories and folklore; anything that's dark, weird and wonderful. It's a good thing then that G.K. is based roughly somewhere in the realms of Scandiwegia where old myths are plentiful. G.K. has a background in archaeology (dirty nails and all) and will probably have to put an archeologist into a story one day. Until then, potty-mouthed and kickass characters with other jobs will have to face high stakes and save the day.
