Iceland, 17th century. The story begins in the south of the country, in a seminary where boys from good families study languages, rhetoric, theology and secretly learn witchcraft — galdr. Three friends find out that an old man is buried in the church cemetery, who possessed the legendary grimoire — "Gray Skin". The young men are ambitious and eager to try their hand. Sneaking into the cemetery at night, they inadvertently raise not one dead man, but a whole horde... A magnificent atmospheric story from a master of magical realism, based on folklore texts about Reverend Eirik Magnusson, a priest and warlock.
