Copenhagen is a mysterious city where strange and sinister things often happen. Menacing and at times darkly humorous there are echoes of Roald Dahl and Daphne du Maurier in these stories, many of which have been specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4. From the commuter who bitterly regrets falling asleep on a late-night train in
Last Train to Helsingor, to the mushroom hunter prepared to kill to guard her secret in
The Chanterelles of Ostvig. Here, the land of 'hygge' becomes one of twilight and shadows, as canny antique dealers and property sharks get their comeuppance at the hands of old ladies in
Conning Mrs Vinterberg, and ghosts go off-script in
The Wailing Girl. Deliciously dark and chilling, this is Nordic Noir at its finest.
A really strong collection of Nordic-noir and ghost stories with fantastic pacing and atmosphere.About the AuthorHeidi Amsinck is a writer and journalist born in Copenhagen. She has had many stories commissioned for radio but this is her first published collection. She was previously shortlisted for the VS Pritchett Memorial Prize.
