<\/p>\nThe road to Gillsby?<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
\nTHE RESTING MALICE
\nOn the coast somewhere in North Zealand is Gillsby.
\nA vacation paradise with summer houses, beaches and nature experiences.
\nBut Gillsby has a dark side.
\nThere are things only the locals know about, things they only whisper about,
\n things that rest deep in the great forests that surround the city.
\n‘Don’t disturb the dormant evil’ they whisper.
\n ‘Death is heavy for the sleeping. ”
\n The old folks still remember the horrors of the last time death was awakened.
\nIt must never happen again.
\nThere are places in the woods, where nobody dares to go. Not even the forester.<\/p>\nTHE OLD ORCHARD
\nThe place is a little dilapidated.
\nNobody has lived there, since the previous owner died of old age.
\nThe location is perfect idyll, far into the woods.
\nThe plantation could be a perfect refuge for neglected children, a good place to find meaning in life.
\nThe main building stands on top of a hill.
\nYou can’t see it, but 400 years ago witches were burnt here.
\nNowhere in the country burned so many witches as in Gillsby.
\nSome say that the spot is haunted.<\/p>\nTHE SEALED FOREST
\nFurther into the forest is an area the locals call the Closed Forest.
\nNobody has cared for this part of the forest for several hundred years.
\nOne stays away.
\nThe Closed Forest hides creatures of darkness.
\nIt is not unusual that people disappear if they get too close to that part of the forest.
\nOne easily gets lost in the wild forest. None will be found again.
\nThe plantation is located too close to the Closed Forest.
\nNo local would dream of buying the place. But Hans is not local.<\/p>\nTHE NEW OWNER
\nHans Moeller Rasmussen is a retired municipal chief accountant.
\nHe lost his wife of almost a lifetime to cancer a few months ago.
\nBefore she died, they bought together a plantation estate in the woods outside Gillsby.
\nHe has since rebuilt the place a little.
\nHe does not know the local superstitions and the only ‘supernatural’,
\nhe has experienced is the feeling that his deceased wife sometimes is quite close, but he keeps it secret.
\nThis weekend the family comes to see the orchard.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\nMy translation of the summary for Steen Langstrup’s horror novel “Mxrket”.<\/em><\/p>\n
Here’s a link to the book’s homepage<\/a><\/p>\n
If you want to read more, you could try to use a translation program on the samples found here<\/a>, but the results can be ‘confusing’
\n(like ‘say bowl’)<\/p>\n
