Draugr (Northern Frights, Book 1) by Arthur Slade is a novella inspired by Norse mythology and Icelandic lore. It is creepy and great fun to read! It was written in 1990 and just re-released.

In the Icelandic sagas, from which most modern interest is garnered, draugrs live in their graves or royal palaces, often guarding treasure buried in their burial mound. They are revenants, or animated corpses, rather than ghosts, which possess intangible spiritual bodies.
