As the Night Devours Us
A collection of dark Icelandic horror stories exploring fear and vengeance.
Mist’s debut work gathers distinct narratives that explore the thin line between safety and terror.

The author draws on Icelandic settings to create an atmosphere of isolation and impending doom. Readers encounter characters who face impossible choices or confront entities that defy explanation.
