<p>New, anniversary edition! It's been ten years since <em>Vaesen </em>was first published in Sweden and took the audience by storm. This edition includes ten new intriguing - and fearsome - beings.</p><p></p><p>Johan Egerkrans' collection of creatures from the Scandinavian folklore has become a crossover phenomenon. The dark forests, deep lakes and vast mountain ranges of Scandinavia are home to a multitude of supernatural beings. They are known as the little people, the invisibles, or simply the fair folk. When someone vanishes in the woods, when the milk curdles over night, when strange noises are heard in the loft or when an unexplained ailment strikes, it is said to be the work of such entities.<br/><br/>Some of these creatures appear all over Europe: ghosts, giants, dragons, trolls, werewolves and faeries. Others are endemic to Scandinavia, such as the Neck who rules the rivers, the nightly Mara, the Huldra who guards the forest, tomtar, mylings and many others.<br/><br/>Author and illustrator Johan Egerkrans presents what he regards as the most important - and most fascinating - Scandinavian folkloric beings.</p>

<p>Around the world we find stories about vampires of all kind, and here they are portrayed in all their ghastly glory. The list of the undead creatures featured is long and varied - including among many others the beautiful Japanese Snow woman, the Indian Vetala who haunts graveyards, the Scottish water spirit Glaistig, Filipino vampirechildren, Haitian blood sucking witches, Arabic demon deatheaters, and the Japanese hunger ghost Gakin who eats feces. There are around 40 different creatures in all, each one more terrifying than the last. It´s impossible to resist these unique monsters, all sharing similar traits around the world. Fortunately, we not only learn about the ways in which they emerge but also how to protect ourselves from their powers.<br/><br/>This is <strong>Johan Egerkrans</strong> at his very best: vile vampires in an equally horrid and beautiful take. The darker setting aside, his unique style made famous in <em>Vaesen</em> and <em>Nordic Gods</em> is ever present.</p>
