Georgia Summers’ Trollheim: Nordic Folk Horror Done Right
Georgia Summers’ Trollheim: Tale of Sýstir announces itself in its opening pages as something different from the usual Nordic-flavoured fantasy. This is folk horror rooted in genuine Huldra mythology, the figure from Scandinavian folklore whose name derives from the Old Norse huldr, meaning “covered” or “secret.” When Sýstir’s mother is accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake, Summers is not using the witch trial as backdrop decoration. She is placing her story inside a specific, historical horror that resonates because it never entirely stopped being present. Sýstir, half-human and half-Huldra, escapes into the Dark Forest known as Trollheim, taken in by the rogue troll Agagkantor and accompanied by a wildcat companion named Fulgir, building a found family from the materials of loss and displacement.

Ronald Malfi’s The Hive Review: A 750-Page Nightmare of Conformity and Cosmic Dread
You know the feeling of coming home to find everything slightly wrong. The couch pulled three inches left. A photograph tilted. Nothing you can name, but your body knows. That’s Ronald Malfi’s temperature with The Hive (Titan Books, April 14, 2026). This 768-page small town horror novel set in Mariner’s Cove, Maryland, builds dread like rust on a locked gate. After a strange storm scatters ordinary junk across the neighbourhood, the residents develop an obsessive attachment to their discoveries. A door. Coat hangers. A tricycle wheel. They lie for these objects. They kill for them. And ten-year-old Cory McBride, newly awakened to strange psychic powers, is the only one who sees the hive mind forming. Malfi spent twelve years wrestling this story into shape. The result is his most ambitious work yet: cosmic horror grounded in the domestic, where the real terror isn’t the monster but the coat hanger in your closet. Read the full review.
