Knut Enferd 23 min read

Fog-bound and restless, a seven-foot Norseman in the prime of his life chafes at the great hall, hungry for action instead of the same old stories.

Knut Enferd's 1948 story sets its lost-world adventure against the Norse world of Wodin and Niflheim, its impatient hero Gaar itching to break free of the fog-locked harbor. Vivid, atmospheric golden-age pulp with a mythic-historical setting. Read it for a rousing tale that pitches a bored Viking toward druidic mystery.
