Småty is a term for supernatural critters, and if you're interested in magical realism or Scandinavial folklore, this is a good place to start. |
This page is about a world that exists in my imagination, at least mainly. It’s called Småty since that’s a dialectal word from Bohuslän, Sweden, for the various supernatural critters in the world. If you are interested in Viking historical fiction and contemporary magical realism inspired by Scandinavian folklore (including the Norse gods), this is a good place to be.
The stories are a mix of historical (mainly the iron age, both before the so-called Viking age and during) and contemporary, something in the magical realism line. They are all set in Sweden, generally with connection to Bohuslän, which in old times was known as either Alfheim or Ranrike. I prefer Ranrike, so that is the term used in my world.
Check out the characters (which includes interviews and bios), the locations and their real-world inspiration, or the stories, which has excerpts of longer works as well as both microfiction (up to 140 characters) and flash fiction (up to about 1000 words).
