A second Scandinavian troll-love story in a year – if’n you enjoyed Eleanor Arnsason’s My Husband Steinn in Asimov’s late last year, you’ll doubtless enjoy this.

By way of a semi-nonsequiter, I can recommend the film Trollhunter from 2010 – if you see it in the bargain bin of your DVD store, or want to get the max out of your Netflix subscription, worth 90minutes of your time to see what a low budget film can provide by way on entertainment.
