Typical Books of Terror | The Lake of the Dead by André Bjerke • A classic Norwegian supernatural mystery book review @typicalbooks | Uploaded March 2022 | Updated October 2024, 16 hours ago.
Read The Lake of the Dead by André Bjerke recently, and watched both films. Absolutely enjoyable classic Norwegian horror mystery. Being from the 40s, it's not a visceral haunting, but something far more subtle. This was a Patron pick, so thank you, fellow bookworms!
Often likened to Agatha Christie, I found it akin to Lovecraft by way of Nancy Drew. If that sounds odd, I'd say read some original Nancy Drew!
There are two film adaptations - Lake of the Dead in 1958 which stars the author as Gabriel Mörk, and a Shudder remake, Lake of Death in 2020. The new film may be a little more scary, but the original is far more beautiful.

Most links in my video descriptions are affiliate links where I earn somehow when you use the services I do to make videos or for reading and relaxation ~ The opinions expressed herein are my own. If there are #horror books out there that you think I ought to read, let me know. I talk scary books, extreme horror, classic, gothic, and everything in between. Helping you find the next best horror book to read is the goal, and sharing new and old horror from my #booktube shelves and new releases is how! Horror, nonfiction and even true crime can be found here as I find that human beings are the scariest thing of all.
