The Haar By David Sodergren

Is there such a thing as a heartwarming horror? Well there is now. This pulled on my heart strings while at the same time scarying me. David Sodergren did an amazing job again with this story,  this is a story that will make you think,  be angered by the circumstances…

Is there such a thing as a heartwarming horror? Well there is now. This pulled on my heart strings while at the same time scarying me.

David Sodergren did an amazing job again with this story,  this is a story that will make you think,  be angered by the circumstances that the main character faces and sadden by them to. 

SPOILERS AHEAD…

It starts with a lonely grandma living in a cottage by the sea, her husband was a fisherman who got lost at sea, son was an adult and never visited.

When a rich man comes and buys off all the small farms around her home to build a golf course she denies her leaving her home he threatens her only then she finds the haar a supernatural creature that takes the form of her husband only a much younger version and her revenge is on.

This is gritty, sad and scary. It made me cry, and cheer for the main character while I read this back in 2024 and it stuck with me mostly made me think of the injustice that the common people endure by the rich.

Anyways this was an amazing read.

The feline gives it 4.5 stars..

I hope you aliens read it…
