What would you do if your nightmares started coming true? That is what happens to Angie, while on vacation over Christmas holidays with her grandfather and cousins, visiting the ancestral home in Iceland. The Norse legends the family grew up on seem to be coming to life again. With a mix of dead relatives, rumors of a shape shifter and strange encounters, this family vacation has turned into a nightmare.

Can Angie and her cousins put the pieces of the story together and solve the mystery? With the aid of their uncle's farm hands, can these four youngsters stop an old evil that is rising again?

There are three books in the Northern Frights series by Arthur Slade and these books were published under the name Arthur G. Slade by Orca Book Publishers. They are some of his earliest published works, each story based on Norse mythology. Currently out of print, but they are really worth tracking down. They are incredible stories by a master storyteller.

The Loki Wolf is an exciting thriller. Based apon old Norse myths, the author seems to make ancient Iceland legends come alive in a modern setting. The author Arthur Slade was able to make the setting and characters seem real. His depiction of the Loki wolf was cleverly done, and the story behind it was well thought out and interesting. A cliff-hanger, this story has several exciting parts before it hits the climax. It kept me guessing throughout, as it contains some components of a mystery as well. The Loki Wolf was well worth reading and I suggest it to anyone who enjoys a good thriller or mystery.
