‘Darkness Walks the Woods‘ Praised by BTJ

Author duo Mons and Karolina Kallentoft’s debut novel Darkness Walks the Woods has been praised in a review from important library service BTJ. Here’s what they had to say:

“A desolate atmosphere lingers over the novel constantly, and you, as a reader, fear for the lives of the main characters time and time again. […] The portrayal of the milieu is superbly eerie; the smell of decay, crumbling houses, and winding, overgrown roads. Classic horror elements serve as possible red herrings in the investigation: a popular free church pastor who has seduced hundreds of women, a German cult that has built its own village in the woods, and an old woman who makes strange suggestions about creatures lurking in the woods. Old superstitions collide with a modern serial killer investigation in this very thrilling suspense story.”

Darkness Walks the Woods was published in Sweden by Norstedts on May 5th, 2025.
