Modern Vaesen – Mythological beings of our time

Ingela Korsell & Reine Rosenberg

It’s easy to think it was only during ancient times people believed in vaesen and similar creatures, but what supernatural beings do we dread today? And what sort of function do they have in the 21st century? Come along on a winding ride among ghost trains, aliens, zombies, horror clowns, and black-eyed children.

This is a packed, but easy read non-fiction title about creatures in modern folklore. Read about how the tooth fairy was exempted from corona quarantine in Argentina, about Slender Man who abducts children…and of course all about monsters under the bed.

Thrill, humor and science for 9–99-year olds! Factchecked by historian Tommy Kuusela and scary color illustrations by Reine Rosenberg.
