Project Detail

A Spriggan

Synopsis

A newly widowed mother returns to her father's isolated hotel, where a sinister folklore presence stalks the land.
In UK folklore, Spriggans were depicted as spirits related to the trolls of Scandinavia. They were often characterized as grotesquely ugly, wizened old men with large child-like heads. Although small, they were often considered to be the ghosts of giants, with the ability to swell to far greater size. The character has become the subject of a host of manga series in Japan.
