Hildur Knútsdóttir - Writing, horror, Iceland and imagining the worst

Hildur Knútsdóttir visited KauhuCon 2026 as a honorary guest and I got a change to sit down with her to discuss Yöjuoksu, which is the Finnish translation for the intense, scary and darkly funny book The Night Guest (The Darkness between the stars in Icelandic). We discussed horror, worst fears, stories and underlying themes, among other important things. Thank you Hildur for taking the time to discuss!
