Jolasveinar

As you know, we're busily pulling together our Tales of The Oak comic for next year, so our final spooky selection for this year, is an excellent small press collection of winter horror, Shocking Chillers.

An adaptation of the first Magic Torch spooky story I wrote - Jolasveinar - is one of the stories featured.

Jolasveinar

A tale of unease set at Christmas during the second world war...




Historical Note
Greenock was the embarkation point for some of the ships sent to Iceland during the "occupation".
The Jolasveinar tradition is still celbrated in Iceland...you can get really cool decorations and figurines. Check out these images.

Also, here is a wee Christmas Carol about them sung by Bjork
