FINNISH HORROR ICON!
The Sauna Elf
Booze, cursing, axe murders, and skinned corpses - The Finnish sauna has a very dark and evil history. For centuries, sauna-goers have met the most horrifying fates, and throughout local folklore, all blame has fallen on the Sauna Elf - some kind of supernatural spirit once believed to be the guardian of the sauna and its visitors, never a bloodthirsty monster.
Now, the Sauna Elf finally breaks his silence, purifies his conscience - and his nearly nonexistent reputation. Years of solitude in the shadows have not dulled the sharpness of his stories - on the contrary, today the Sauna Elf's tales cut deeper than ever.
Believe it or not - that's up to you. But monsters do exist. And where else would they be, if not among us?
Mr. Aki Mäkiaho (born1978) is a Finnish storyteller who studied film in both Finland and the United Kingdom. He is a screenwriter and director whose horror shorts have been screened internationally and have received awards in Finland from both audiences and juries. The Sauna Elf is his debut novel and was warmly received in Finland.
