By Hildur Knútsdóttir

From Hildur Kn tsd ttir comes Down Where Monsters Dwell, a dark, historical fairytale steeped in Icelandic folklore about the powerful bond between mothers and daughters, and how quickly fear can lead to violence; perfect for fans of T. Kingfisher, Brom, and Victor LaValle.

"A crisp Icelandic bedtime story." --Christopher Buehlman, New York Times bestselling author of Between Two Fires

Centuries ago, in the isolated fjords of Iceland, a woman named Halla rescues a baby girl, abandoned by her parents who fear she's a changeling. Halla doesn't believe in such nonsense and decides to take her home.

And she's right - the child, sa, is not a changeling. But she's not exactly human either. As she grows up, terrifying rumors of a violent woman with a monster's face begin to spread through the fjord's other farmsteads.

Human or not, Halla knows her daughter isn't a monster. She must do whatever she can to protect sa because she knows: scared people can do terrible things.
