Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
Perhaps the best and most famous book to be written on Svalbard. Christiane Ritter was an Austrian painter and writer, who famously overwintered on Gråhuken on Spitsbergen, Svalbard, at 79 degrees North with her husband and a Norwegian trapper named Karl. She documented her stay there, and that's what this book is - a year's... Continue Reading →
This made me feel like a teenager again! Even though I don't recall ever having heard the name Anthony Horowitz before, I recognized the title Point Blanc when I walked past the free-secondhand-books shelf in my local shopping mall, so I figured... why not? So I picked up this, as well as Skeleton Key by... Continue Reading →
A-Tier Fantasy! Even if the third book never comes out these two books will live with me forever. Patrick Rothfuss surprised me with The Name Of The Wind. I didn't know what to expect—I'd heard great things of course, so I knew I was even in for a treat, but I also knew a lot... Continue Reading →
Whoa... what a huge disappointment. I... I don't know what happened. I devoured Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. After reading that I couldn't wait to get started on Hannibal, which ended up being just as good as, if not better than the... Continue Reading →
Holy shit, I need more Jack Reacher in my life. It's been four years since I read my first Lee Child book. I'd heard about Jack Reacher before, seen that Tom Cruise movie from a while back, and I remember loving the book. But for some reason I never picked up another one. Then late... Continue Reading →
Uten Nåde translates to Without Mercy in Norwegian, and what a merciless book it is! This book is about two things: polar bears, and the people who've encountered them—be that through hunting, research, or other, terrifying encounters. It's written by Birger Amundsen, a multi-faceted man who is (among other things) an Arctic researcher, a journalist,... Continue Reading →
Whoa, where do I even start? Probably one of the best fantasy books... ever? I've heard the name Patrick Rothfuss been thrown around for a while now. I have no idea how long exactly, not since I was very young, but definitely for years, and there was always two things that were mentioned in the... Continue Reading →
Hannibal keeps getting better and better! Not far from becoming one of my favorite villains! I recently picked up Red Dragon, loved it and and jumped right into A Silence Of The Lambs as soon I was done. Both of those books were incredible - not that I doubted that, having been a fan of...

Incredibly sad news this weekend - Dan Simmons, author of one of the most incredible science fiction book ever, has passed. Hyperion is one of those books that I felt like I heard about all my life, but never really knew anything about. If you've followed this blog for a while, you've probably seen me...

By far the best video game-to-TV adaption, ever! I've loved Fallout since 2009, when I first happened upon Fallout 3 for the Xbox 360 at my local Blockbuster (this magical place full of games and movies we all hung out at on Friday evenings), back in the day when I was at university in Southampon....
