We’re thrilled to announce that Polish rights for THE HORNED GOD by Magdalena Hai were acquired by Polish publisher GREG, in a deal closed by Martti Berner at the Ahlback Agency!
THE HORNED GOD quickly became a bestseller in Finland, with 6000 copies sold, and now this atmospheric YA horror is available in 9 different languages.
It won the Finlandia Prize for children’s and YA literature of 2023, and was nominated for the Topelius Prize of 2024, with this praise from the jury:
17-year-old Lauri wakes up in hospital after a car accident. His mother has deceased, and father is in a coma in hospital. The horror story beautifully links the descriptions of recovering from a big loss, the grueling presence of awful things, the guilt caused by mistakes and the act of letting go. The novel which influences the reader on many levels also describes in a lively matter the everyday life of teenagers, experiences of mental health struggles, and racism. Below the horror elements there is an undercurrent that ties people together. At times in a painful way.
