AUTUMN 2016 No Man’s Land Something very strange
is happening to Johan. From being a regular guy he’s all of a sudden getting a temper and a whole lot of muscles. It feels bloody great to begin with but after a while he doesn’t recognise himself anymore. He no longer frightens just others but also frightens himself. It all began that night on the bus driving through the forests of East Finland. Right in the middle of nowhere. To look for answers and save himself and his family he leaves everything behind and returns across the border into Finland, back out into the wilderness. Niklas Krog describes a young man’s development and insight into a truth that is both frightening and enticing. Krog is a much-liked author who has written several popular fantasy comics for children and young people.
