Copenhagen, a mysterious city, holds a captivating allure, where strange and sinister events frequently occur. These tales are menacing and, at times, darkly humorous, reminiscent of the works of Roald Dahl and Daphne du Maurier. Many of these captivating stories have been specially commissioned for BBC Radio 4, adding to the city's enigmatic charm. From the commuter who deeply regrets falling asleep on a late-night train in "Last Train to Helsingør" to the mushroom hunter willing to take a life to protect her secret in "The Chanterelles of Østvig," these narratives transport listeners into a world where the land of "hygge" transforms into a realm of twilight and shadows. Canny antique dealers and property sharks find themselves at the receiving end of retribution, as old ladies, with their wits as sharp as ever, playfully con them in "Conning Mrs. Vinterberg." Meanwhile, ghosts venture beyond their scripted roles in "The Wailing Girl," adding an extra layer of suspense and intrigue to this captivating collection. Deliciously dark and chilling, this is Nordic Noir at its finest, leaving listeners eagerly anticipating the next installment in this intriguing series.
