The Thundering Silence

Book excerpt: Norse mythology, religion, legends, and fairy creatures of various kinds are very much the focus of attention, both in social media and beyond. In this book you will meet quite a few of them, as well as ghosts, scientific research into the paranormal, and inexplicable events, including deaths. The scene is set in the middle of Western Norway, between fjords, mountains, and glaciers, in the height of summer, and in a typical tourist destination. Toby and Roger, cousins who meet up again in the wake of the death of Olaf, Toby’s grandfather, settle in to enjoy the summer, sorting out Olaf’s will and Toby’s inheritance. But things do not go according to plan, and a cascade of events threatens to literally throw them out of existence. They must find out what – or who – is behind the horror terrorizing the village, preferably without losing their lives in the process.
