Strange Tales from the North

Portals to another world

Eight fantastic stories from a shadow Copenhagen – past, present and future – inspired by amazing artworks.

Otto Frello (1924-2015) was a Danish painter of fantastic scenes who lived in the centre of Copenhagen for most of his life.

As an Irish writer of fantasy and speculative fiction, I have long been an admirer of his work.

What Frello and I have in common is that we both aim to open doorways to other worlds. I hope that you will enjoy the results of this encounter between different art forms.
