Tidbeck's writing exudes an aura of the uncanny, a sense of disquiet that permeates her stories, evoking a primal fear and wonder. Her characters inhabit worlds teetering on the precipice of transformation, where the familiar and the strange intertwine.
In her novella Jagannath, a devout woman embarks on a perilous pilgrimage, only to find herself ensnared in a labyrinth of surreal visions and cryptic encounters. The boundaries between reality and hallucination blur, leaving the reader suspended in a realm of uncertainty.
Conjuring the Sublime
Beyond the unsettling, Tidbeck's prose also evokes a profound sense of the sublime, transcending the boundaries of the mundane. Her stories transport readers to breathtaking landscapes, where cosmic wonders and ancient mysteries intertwine.

In her novel Moominland Midwinter, a retelling of Tove Jansson's beloved classic, Tidbeck conjures a surreal and enchanting realm of ice and snow. The Moomins, known for their whimsical adventures, find themselves navigating a barren and desolate landscape, their fates hanging in the balance.
Exploring the Subconscious
Tidbeck's stories often delve into the depths of the human psyche, uncovering the hidden recesses of the subconscious. Her characters grapple with existential questions, confronting their inner fears and longings.
In her short story collection Amatka, Tidbeck weaves together tales of doppelgangers, shape-shifters, and otherworldly beings. These enigmatic creatures represent the latent desires and anxieties that lurk beneath the surface of our conscious minds.
