A young photographer, Mikael, finds a small, man-like creature in his courtyard: a troll known from Scandinavian mythology as a demonic wild beast, a hybrid like the werewolf, and supposedly extinct. Mikael takes him home but soon discovers that trolls exude pheromones that smell like Xalvin Klein aftershave and have a profound aphrodisiac effect on all those around him. But what Mikael ad others who come into contact with the troll fail to learn, with tragic consequence, is that the troll is the interpreter of man's darkest, most forbidden desires. 

A bestseller in Finland and translated into ten languages, Not Before Sundown (aka Troll: A Love Story) is a multi-award-winning novel of sparkling originality, a wry, peculiar and beguiling story of nature and man's relationship with wild things and of the dark power of the wildness within us.
