A review by kleonard
Nordic Visions: The Best of Nordic Speculative Fiction by Karin Tidbeck, Maria Haskins, John Ajvide Lindqvist

5.0

This is a good collection of horror, sci-fi, and fantasy from Scandinavia. Including pieces both written in English and translated into it, the collection represents a lot--but not all, as the editors discuss in their introduction--of places within Scandinavia. There are fantastic tales inspired by folklore as well as stories about aliens, robots, dystopias, elves, and much more. I'd love to re-read these in a class or group where I could learn more about the contexts in which the writers are working.
