Synopsis

Now an Amazon Prime Original Series!

Perfect for fans of E.T. and Stranger Things—the first narrative artbook from acclaimed author and artist Simon Stålenhag about a fictionalized suburban town in the 1980s inhabited by fantastic machines and strange, imaginative beasts.

In 1954, the Swedish government ordered the construction of the world’s largest particle accelerator. The facility was complete in 1969, located deep below the pastoral countryside of Mälaröarna. The local population called this marvel of technology The Loop. These are its strange tales.

From the same author who wrote the imaginative artbook The Electric State, this “haunting,” (The Verge) “sophisticated sci-fi” (The Nerdist) follows the bizarre stories from otherworldly creatures and is a page-turner you won’t be able to put down.

Extremely low-key but eerie and dark science fiction. So minimalist, and it makes us ask far more questions than we'll ever have answers to. It's an art book, mostly, but I got the biggest kick out of the text. In actual fact, the tiny snippets of text are really short stories that seem to be a slice......more

Goodreads review by Trish on April 16, 2023

If a book starts as ominous as this, you can imagine the goodness that is to come: In this narrative picturebook, the author / illustrator tells of how, in an alternative 1954 Sweden, the government constructed the world's largest particle accelerator - nicknamed The Loop. The construction was situat......more
