• Summary:

  A very hard winter. A hot summer full of dragonflies. An old estate surrounded by an impenetrable forest – all linked by a dark past. “H.P. Lovecraft meets Midsommar,” was the headline in Finland when this fabulously drawn folklore horror graphic novel was released. When some young men on a ski trip are surprised by the rapidly falling evening, they find shelter at a remote house in the woods. The family who receives them appears to have strange habits and the men soon wonder whether they will make it home for Christmas… Sami Makkonen previously shocked Finland with his interpretation of the Finnish folk epic Kalevala. In Horse God he sends the plot as a spiral from one time to another, with old demons returning in new forms. This creates a cross-pollination of supernatural horror, occultism and folk belief – a nocturnal path to a black abyss.
