From the mind of acclaimed artist Simon Stalenhag comes Tales from the Loop, a collection of surreal, poignant short stories inspired by his stunning art and told from the perspective of the children who live around a mysterious, powerful machine buried beneath the Swedish countryside, known only as “The Loop.” This book is a gorgeous and strange exploration of the beauty and terror that lie within the ordinary.
