¶ Forty-four Swedish folk-Gothic tales. “Faxneld takes his inspiration from dark, folkloric narratives which have been told in his family for generations. THE TREE OF SACRIFICE thus conveys the enchanted atmospheres of old Scandi- navian folklore. In keeping with the style of traditional oral storytelling, the writing is intentionally simple and sparse, while at the same time inventive, subversive, provocative, and philosophically complex.” Each tale is illustrated by Mimmi Strinnholm.
