Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
What can I say – the most unique piece of science fiction I've read in ages! It feels like it's been ages since I've finished a book—much of my summer disappeared in having my 15-year-old nephew staying with us for seven weeks, while my wife suffered a pretty devastating back injury—so I've hardly had time...

Embers of War – the story about a sentient space ship solving mysteries in the vast darkness of space – finally it’s our turn! I feel like I know Gareth Powell. I don’t, though I think I’ve tweeted him a couple of times back in the day, and if I'm not mistaken, he might have... 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 →
It's release day, and a huge congratulations to Ryan Lanz who's releasing his fifth book in the Red Kingdom series - The Promise of Scars. I was first introduced to the series a few years ago and dove straight in, and was immediately impressed with the exciting plot and the beautiful world building. I read book... 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.

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...

Well... where do I start? First of all, I love Ken Follett. My first book of his was Pillars Of The Earth, and it didn’t take me many pages before I fell in love. I was hooked. I became an instant fan. I'd recommend that to anyone who wants to grt into historical fantasy, Follett,... Continue Reading →
My first ever book in German - my third language - and I've got to say I'm very positively surprised at how fun it was to read this! Thing is, I started learning German about 20 years ago. You see, in Norway you get to pick a third language when you start middle school (junior... Continue Reading →
I bloody did it again! Okay, so first of all - this is a fantastic book and an absolute must-read if you like legal thrillers. But also, I somehow managed to read these books out of order. Not that it matters - but first time around, I somehow started with book 3 in the series,... Continue Reading →
