Summary: "Weird Tales from Northern Seas" by Jonas Lie is a collection of supernatural stories written during the late 19th century. The book explores the mystical and often dark folklore of Northern Norway, capturing the essence of the region's harsh sea life and its inhabitants. The tales are populated by fishermen, mythical creatures, and the supernatural, providing a vivid portrayal of life's struggles against nature and fate. The opening of this collection introduces readers to the story "The Fisherman and the Draug," where we meet Elias, a poor fisherman living on the haunted island of Kvalholm. While out fishing, Elias encounters both the challenges of his trade and eerie supernatural events, involving a menacing seal and otherworldly forces associated with the Draug, a ghostly figure from Norse mythology. As the story unfolds, readers glimpse into the life of Elias, his struggles with the relentless sea, and the ominous presence that shadows his family, setting the tone for the tales that intertwine folklore, fate, and the harsh realities of coastal life.
