Synopsis

Mark Sandoval—resolutely arrogant, covered head to foot in precise geometric scarring, and still marginally famous after Hollywood made an Oscar-winner based off his memoir years before—has been strongly advised by his lawyer to leave the country following a drunken and potentially fatal hit and run. When a woman sends Sandoval grainy footage of what appears to be a unicorn, he quickly hires an assistant and the two head off to the woman's farm in Hvíldarland, a tiny, remote island off the coast of Iceland. When they arrive on the island and discover that both a military base and the surrounding álagablettur, the nearby woods, are teeming with strangeness and secrets, they begin to realize that a supposed unicorn sighting is the least of their worries.

Goodreads review by Jamie on March 15, 2025

Quick pacing, snappy dialogue and infusions of humor, mystery and darker, chilling overtones makes this mishmash of sci-fi, magical realism and horror truly compelling.

Goodreads review by Alexander on May 01, 2020

"Okay, so. Sure. A unicorn. A unicorn on a pumpkin farm. A unicorn on a pumpkin farm in a small, beleaguered, mostly forgotten island in the Atlantic. It was like a shitty Mad Lib." Hello! I'm not sure what I've been reading the last couple of weeks. I mean, I've been reading this book, of course, but......more

Goodreads review by Lori on June 23, 2020

This book was a ridiculous amount of fun. Two men, burdened with their own strange secrets, travel together to a tiny little coastal town out near Iceland to hunt an elusive unicorn and wind up uncovering a conspiracy deeper and darker than anything they could have imagined. You guys, this book is s......more
