Nordic Fauna by Andrea Lundgren
In these six short stories, Andrea Lundgren explores a liminal space where the town meets the wilderness and human consciousness meets something more animalistic. From foxes to blue whales to angels, the creatures that roam through these stories spark a desire for something more in their human counterparts: a longing for transformation.
‘A magical realist universe where anything can happen and not much can be explained’ Vi Laaser; ‘Mesmeric...These are fascinating, haunting stories that stay with the reader.’ Alex Fleming, Swedish Book Review; 'Magical realism and environmental poetry spiced with elements of horror in the spirit of Jon Ajvide Lindqvist.' göteborgs-posten
