In the long Scandinavian winters, our ancestors told stories to survive the darkness.
Before trolls became garden ornaments and elves learned to make toys, the forests of Scandinavia were hunting grounds. The huldra lured men to madness with her beauty and hollow back. The n kken dragged children beneath black waters. The draugr rose from burial mounds with superhuman strength and insatiable hunger.
Twenty tales drawn from authentic Nordic folklore and oral traditions spanning Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Iceland, The Wolf's Blood restores the savage darkness to Scandinavia's most chilling legends. Here you'll find no redemption arcs, no happily-ever-afters, only the brutal bargains our ancestors made with forces older and crueler than Christianity could tame.
Will you survive the long winter night? Or will you become another tale whispered in the dark? The stories in this collection are inspired from what people in Norway, Sweden, and Iceland believed, the accounts that explained why someone didn't come home, the rituals performed to keep the unexplained away from the door.Content warning: These tales contain violence, body horror and the unforgiving morality of pre-Christian Scandinavia. Not recommended for readers seeking comfort.
