The first true celebration of contemporary Nordic science fiction, fantasy and horror!

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 15 stories from the best contemporary speculative authors from Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and The Faroe Islands, including John Ajvide Lindqvist, Hannu Rajaniemimany, Tor Åge Bringsværd and more, many of which are appearing in English for the very first time. 

Nordic Visions: The Best of Nordic Speculative Fiction

The latest volume in the Dedalus European fantasy series, this anthology of short stories includes a wide range of texts covering the period from nineteenth century until today. The richness and diversity of the stories reflects the long tradition of fantasy in Finnish literature, ranging from the classics to experimental literature, from satire to horror. This is the first collection of Finnish short stories of its kind and almost all are translated into English for the first time.

The Dedalus Book of Finnish Fantasy

Una novela en algún lugar entre Margaret Atwood y Kurt Vonnegut, y con una visión única sobre el fin del hiperpatriarcado.

Enkelten verta

Mikael, a young gay photographer, finds near his apartment block a small, man-like creature. It is a troll, a beast familiar to us from Scandinavian mythology where, through the ages, it has been used to frighten children. The first thing he does is research everything that has been written about trolls.

Giants at the end of the world

Kun kuusivuotias Sissi viiltää itseään päiväkodissa saksilla, hänen vanhempiensa maailma järkkyy. Siirin ja Essin perheessä lähes kaikki on siihen mennessä sujunut mallikkaasti: on kaksi kaunista lasta, tyttö ja poika, ja molemmat vanhemmat menestyviä uranaisia. Entisellä MasterChef-kokilla Essillä on suosittu kahvila ja Siirillä kirjanpitoyritys. Lääkärintarkastuksessa selviää, että Sissillä on vanhempiakin haavoja. Suojeleeko lapsi jotakuta, onko perheen sisäpiirissä tuntematon uhka?
