A collection of unique and unusual works of fiction inspired by ancient Scandinavian (and Finnish) mythology, folklore, and the sagas of yore. Not the usual suspects such as J.R.R. Tolkien, Neil Gaiman, Bernard Cornwell, Rick Riordan, etc. or the various other mainstream titles that might feature an elf or the occasional nod to Odin, but instead an exclusive focus on overlooked/hard-to-find classics and more recent quirky offerings. 

The following excellent books are, alas, not presently available through Bookshop, but are so very worthy of attention:

Swell by Corwin Ericson

A hilarious and bizarre adventure set on an island off the coast of New England that features an antagonistic warrior-maiden, a sour-milk guzzling skald, North Atlantic whale-herding, and additional influences from Finnish mythology.

Nutcase by Tony Williams

An amazing retelling of The Saga of Grettir the Strong set in a crime-ridden and destitute part of modern-day England.

The Hurricane Party by Klas Östergren

A post-apocalyptic take on the events that set Ragnarök in motion. Set in a grim, futuristic Stockholm and its archipelago. 

War of the Gods by Poul Anderson

Poul Anderson is better known for his science fiction, but his Norse-inspired fantasy is something special if you can find it. I listed The Broken Sword above, but War of the Gods is probably my favourite of his (not available through Bookshop, however). Also worth seeking out are: The Last Viking Trilogy, Mother of Kings, and Hrolf Kraki's Saga.
