About this audiobook
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, travels, 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.
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.
