edit data

Michal Polgár is a Slovak-born author of literary, cosmic and psychological horror. Now based in Northern Norway, he is a registered Norwegian author.

His writing resists being confined to a single genre, seamlessly moving between atmosphere, mystery, and the uncanny. He delves deeply into stories that challenge perception, creating unsettling narratives that linger in the mind and evoke complex moods... Moods often more felt than logically explained.

Krelløy proudly marks his debut novel.

“I turn away and stare through the window at the field where the scotch broom creeps yellow as hell toward my doorstep. Six years and it has advanced from the hinterlands to the picket fence in the back yard. Six more years and it will have chewed this house to the foundation, braided my bones in its hair.”
