"e;Besides, there is no encouragement for ghosts in most of our villages, for they have scarcely had time to finish their first nap and turn themselves in their graves, before their surviving friends have travelled away from the neighborhood; so that when they turn out at night to walk their rounds, they have no acquaintance left to call upon. This is perhaps the reason why we so seldom hear of ghosts except in our long-established Dutch communities."e; Washington Irving, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (1820) by Washington Irving recounts the story of Ichabod Crane, who comes to Sleepy Hollow, New York, to become the schoolmaster of the village. The ghost of the Headless Horseman haunts Sleepy Hollow. It is believed that a Hessian soldier who lost his head to a cannon-ball during the Revolutionary War, roams around at night in search of his lost head. And if anyone interrupts the Headless Horseman on his quest to find his head, they are killed. One night, while coming back from a party, Ichabod finds himself face-to-face with the Horseman and disappears forever.

Sortebogspræstens Datter er en Lofoten-fortælling, som handler om Agnete, der som stor pige for at imponere sin far kommer til at røbe noget, som får hendes mor brændt på bålet. I første omgang skåner faren Agnete, men da hun nogle år senere kommer til at fremmane "Den Stygge" ved at læse højt fra Sortebogen, må Agnete forlade sit hjem. Hun ender på Værøy - fast besluttet på aldrig at fortælle nogen om, hvem hun er, eller hvad hun har lært af sin mor. Alligevel efterstræbes hun på liv og krop af både lundehunde og Monrad, Hr Olufs ældste søn, som har både onde hensigter og fine fornemmelser med sig hjem fra Bergen, hvor han arbejder. I luften over Værøy kredser havørnene, og i det lille fiskevær ved siden af Hr Olufs hus bor en mand med et særligt forhold til "dem på Utrøst", øen som sank i havet.

Dear Unknown Reader,My name is Antigoney, and I am playing a game with God. This game is for world and universal peace, and currently, the game master is God. My memoirs suggest an alternative creation story; about wishes and magic, technology, and worlds you have never heard before. These stories are from ancient times, before humanity, and I find that they explain why we on Earth suffer so much. Some think God and we are alone in infinite space, but as you will read in my memoirs, we are surrounded by different forms of life. We live inside an entity called Grand Verse; she is our Multiverse. However, no matter who you may encounter in my writing, no one can beat God. He is the deity of Grand Design, Grand Possibility, Grand Protection and Grand Timing. Kindest regards,Antigoney.

An offbeat odyssey into the freezing heart of the modern NorthlandsThe Scandinavian Aggressors chronicles Rowdy Geirsson's tireless quest to uncover the secret history of the early 21st century's resurgence of authentic viking activity known as the Modern Viking Movement. Along the way he meets modern viking luminaries such as Trond "Troll-Breath" Trondsen, who successfully raided a historic monastery's gift shop in England; Björn Svensson, who habitually recited classic rock lyrics at the site of each of his infamous berserkings; and Ingrid Törnblom, who founded an elite warrior sisterhood that drew comparisons to the Spartans of ancient Greece, the Samurai of feudal Japan, and perhaps most flattering of all, the Jedi Knights of the Intergalactic Republic. Encounters with additional Neo-Norse individuals augment the journey, revealing long-hidden details about the slaying of a creepy troll in Beowulf's homeland, the brewing of craft beer from within pagan burial mounds, and the suffering of horrendous digestive problems amidst the breathtaking natural beauty of Iceland's remarkable landscape.Topical, informative, and highly insightful, The Scandinavian Aggressors not only provides essential reading for anyone with even a remote interest in the Modern Viking Movement, but also spins a darn good yarn about the fragility of the Scandinavian condition."Funny as hell! Kind of like Rolling Stone for the Álfablót crowd." -Scott Oden, author of A Gathering of Ravens and Twilight of the Gods"The Scandinavian Aggressors is the visionary account of a silenced movement that shocked the Nine Worlds. A thoroughly Scandifuturistic chronicle of Neo-Norse extravaganza, so burlesque and Baudrillardian that you will thoroughly doubt your own sanity by the end of it. Rowdy's most shocking exposition of Boreal apocrypha yet." -Eirik Storesund, errant Old Norse philologist and host of the Brute Norse podcast
