LABUBUEN

What if the monster isn't the one in chains?

In the unforgiving winter of 17th-century Berlevag, a child is found by the river, half-drowned and grinning. 

Her arrival brings a snow that never melts and a silence that suffocates. She whispers a name that tastes like a curse. Soon, a hunter is discovered with his tongue missing, and an ancient, spiral symbol begins to burn itself into the town’s rotting heart.

The village priest, Father Mørk, believes he can contain this evil. But as the children of Berlevag begin to hum a lullaby only they can hear, he realises his mistake. She isn't what he thinks she is. Could she be a doorway for something impossibly older?

They thought they were locking a monster in; could they be locking themselves in?

Blending the atmospheric dread of Nordic folklore with the creeping terror of cosmic horror, LABUBUEN is a masterful tale of a community slowly being unmade by a history that refuses to stay buried and a hunger that will not be denied.
