Most of my ideas are sparked by places that evoke a sense of darkness and mystery in me. A few of the stories in my collection Last Train to Helsingør are set in spooky, wood-panelled apartments in Copenhagen, but any location might set me off.
My story The Chanterelles of Østvig unfolds in a secluded pine plantation on Denmark’s far north coast. It’s a place I know well, and the silence of the forest paths has always unsettled me deeply.
