Tales from the Loop

The basis for the new Amazon Prime Original Series

Perfect for fans of E.T. and Stranger Things--the first narrative artbook from acclaimed author and artist Simon St lenhag about a fictionalized suburban town in the 1980s inhabited by fantastic machines and strange, imaginative beasts.

In 1954, the Swedish government ordered the construction of the world's largest particle accelerator. The facility was complete in 1969, located deep below the pastoral countryside of M lar arna. The local population called this marvel of technology The Loop. These are its strange tales.

From the same author who wrote the imaginative artbook The Electric State, this "haunting," (The Verge) "sophisticated sci-fi" (The Nerdist) follows the bizarre stories from otherworldly creatures and is a page-turner you won't be able to put down.
