A wondrous and haunting deep-dive into landscape and culture.

"Countless are they, the people who for one reason or another – or for no reason at all – have met their fate on the beach.”

This fascinating essay collection, translated from Swedish, walks global shores, looks to the sea and transcends the everyday. Beaches have shadows. They are places of tragedy that look upon the unfathomable abyss of the ocean.

Per Högselius skirts our history, shipwrecks and bodies, relics of war and vanished lives. He draws on his encounters with painters, writers and movie directors. He invokes Casper David Frinedrich, Frankenstein and Jaws. Prepare for a haunting journey that leaves you fragile and shows you wonders.
