"A fantastic novel in every sense of the word...about the existence of trolls and other mythical creatures in the Nordic forests . . ."--Karl Ove Knausgard
Summer 1978.
A young boy disappears without a trace from a summer cabin. His mother claims he was carried away by a giant.
He is never found.
Twenty-five years later, another child goes missing. This time there's a lead, a single photograph taken by Susso Myrén. She's devoted her life to the search for trolls, legendary giants known as stallo, who can control human thoughts and assume animal form. Convinced that the trolls are real, she follows the trail of missing children to northern Sweden.
But humans, some part stallo themselves, have been watching over the creatures for generations, and this hidden society of protectors won't hesitate to close its deadly ranks.
Mixing folklore and history, suspense and the supernatural, The Shapeshifters is an extraordinary journey into a frozen land where myth bleeds into reality.
