A.Y.W.D.N.E (Animals You Wish Did Not Exist)

There are certainly some secrets that should remain secret. Secrets that are so important, so terrible, and so incredibly creepy that they cannot continue being just that. Secrets, that is.

Animals You Wish Did Not Exist is a book full of such things. Specifically, secrets in the shape of animals you have never heard of before. Animals that the police and the authorities don’t want you to know about. Perhaps because they are worried you will panic and sprain your ankle badly when you run away screaming. But they are out there. At this very moment a huge Mongolian water vole could be waiting for its next victim in an alley in Oslo. Or a Nepali dog bird could be licking the face off a poor old mountain climber in the Himalayas. And who knows, perhaps a horn-nosed frog is sucking the eyeballs out of a Venezuelan fisherman at this very moment.

The truth must be told. That’s why Jo Nesbø decided to gather some of the animals that you really wish didn't exist in this book.
