Beasts

"Beasts" is a gripping young adult horror novel from Norway, set in a post-apocalyptic world where society has crumbled due to the sudden appearance of terrifying, unknown creatures. The story follows thirteen-year-old Abdi and his younger sister, Alva, as they embark on a perilous journey through a desolate landscape, hoping to reach the safety of the sea. The narrative explores themes of survival, sibling loyalty, and the difficult choices made when trust is scarce and danger lurks everywhere, both from the beasts and other desperate humans. It's a fast-paced, intense read, suitable for mature young adult readers who enjoy suspense and a dark, atmospheric setting.

From Norway comes an international horror hit that is shudderingly terrifying and deliciously original. The world has been overrun by hitherto unknown beasts. Society has collapsed: the power is gone, cars are abandoned across the highways, and anyone left is hiding from the terrifying creatures -- and one another. Thirteen-year-old Abdi and his five-year-old sister Alva are on the run, their last hope to escape through the forest and to the sea. As they recall the strange events that led to the beasts' arrival, and how the two of them got to where they were, they must ask themselves who they can trust -- and what they will do to survive.
