What a KNOCK OUT cover by Kristina Osborn to accompany these fantastical and thrilling tales by Villimey Mist.
Iceland, its people, history, culture, natural beauty is near and dear to my heart. I’ve been there several times and would go again in a heartbeat. So, to see a horror collection of local cryptids and folklore immediately piqued my interest.
To be fair, not all the tales occur in Iceland, which I understand, but was still a bit bummed about. The ones that were based there just felt infused with more magic and mystery, like the island itself. “The Girl With The Hooves”, “They Came from the Rocks”, “The Yule Lads Are Coming” were my favourites.
The titular “What Protects Our Heritage” was fantastic- horrifying and mythical, with savage beasts and brutal weather. I felt like I was transported to a different realm (I’ve actually hiked in Iceland to the plane wreck in the story and it felt like being on another planet actually!).
Thank you to NetGalley, the author, and Brigids Gate Press for a copy!
