The Sarvàn
About the book
Midsommer meets All Quiet on the Western Front in this masterful blend of mystery, adventure, and folk-horror.
In the midst of the First World War, a handful of allied POWs escape the torments of Germany’s most brutal internment camp only to find themselves stranded deep in the merciless wilderness of the Alps.
The locals there are odd, and their traditions ancient. With hushed voices they whisper of a beast that roams the frozen mountains. They call it... The Sarvàn.
Our take
War strips everything down, but the mountains hold a different kind of terror. In The Sarvàn, a group of Allied POWs escape a brutal German camp during World War I only to find themselves trapped in an alpine wilderness shaped by old customs, buried fear, and whispers of something hunting the snow. It fits readers who want wartime survival fused with folk horror and mounting dread.
