Bygdebeist

In Bygdebeist (2012–present, Hjemmet/Egmont), writer Jens E. Røsåsen and artist Greg Ruth craft a single-issue horror comic that explores a rural Norwegian community’s confrontation with a monstrous, ancient presence. With co-writer Steve Niles lending his genre expertise, this self-contained story distills folk horror into a taut, atmospheric one-shot. It stands as a distinctive Norwegian take on the creature feature, blending local mythology with a stark, woodsy dread.
