Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
As an archaeologist I'm always fascinated by books and authors who dare play with history. Whether it is in fantastical worlds that only draw inspirations from our own, like Tolkien; historical mysteries and conspiracies like those woven by Dan Brown; or those incredible tales set in a more accurate past like Conn Iggulden. No matter... Continue Reading →
I've got a new favorite type of science fiction, and it's whatever Andy Weir writes! I never read the Martian. I never read a lot of things, but I never read the Martian either. I saw the movie though, and I liked it enough to remember Andy Weir's name when I saw Project Hail Mary... Continue Reading →
One of the best things about being an indie author is becoming a part of an indie author community. Not only do you meet like-minded souls, make friends for life, and learn to develop your craft and art, but occasionally you come across gems that other members of that community produce. This is one of... Continue Reading →
My first Koontz book - and what a book it is! As with when I first started reading Stephen King a few years ago, I felt like I'd heard a lot about Koontz even though I knew nothing about him. I knew he was known for churning out books by the dozens, I knew they... Continue Reading →

It's suddenly over and now I don't know what to do with myself. Josiah Bancroft's Books Of Babel series is fantastic. If you could only read one more series of books before the world ended and you're into fantasy steampunk, then I'd give you this. It's the kind of book series that will be remembered...

Dark Cure is the jungle born love child of The Thing and Alien. Except the horrible creature that's hunting you is human. Set in a top secret research facility, I though Dark Cure was going to be a familiar story about people who wander off into a dangerous forest in search of some legendary font... Continue Reading →
What a great start to the new year! I set out to read this at the start of the pandemic, some time in spring, 2019. It was a weird mix of wanting to read a book about the world ending due to a super-flu (wonder where I got that idea), finding the book on offer... Continue Reading →
This is what you'd get if Dan Brown wrote an Indiana Jones novel.A incredible fast-paced, action-packed, thrilling and intriguing mystery about Biblical myths and Nazi conspiracies.I read the first of these books a few years ago, and I though I have to admit I don't remember it in detail, I remember being hooked. As an... Continue Reading →
The fact that I love thrillers, am Scandinavian, and have never actually read this book before now is kind of embarrassing. At the same time, I feel like I’ve read it many times before. I’ve read “of” it, heard about it and I’ve seen at least two of the movies (one Swedish and one American,... Continue Reading →
