34 HÅKAN ÖSTLUNDH Nerve wracking and breathtaking literature

Håkan Östlundh on leaving the crime genre and writing about the difficult parts of his childhood. ”It struck me that a reoccurring theme in my books has been dysfunctional families. I suspec- ted this had to do with that my own family drama insisted on being told. I wanted to use that ener- gy and make it readable in the shape of a novel. It has hurt, I thought I was done and through with my childhood. But on the other hand, I have dug into something very personal.” Author photo: Eva Lindblad Eva photo: Author

In Håkan Östlundh’s novels passion, loyalty and guilt mix in perfect set ups. To Sara, Burn after Reading After the funeral of Sara Kvist’s mother, whom she hadn’t seen in twenty-five years, Sara is left with a package labeled: To Sara, Burn after Reading!

The package includes her mother’s notebooks, and they raise sore memories. How could Sarah’s mother, who was such a loving and caring person, be driven to the rim of madness? How could she sacrifice her own children in order to take revenge on the man she loved above all else?

Except to confront the painful events in childhood, which Sara for long has done everything to forget, she is also forced to examine her own choices in through adulthood. Is it dark and destructive forces that sometimes have led her astray?

MATS STRANDBERG SARA B. ELFGREN

ENGELSFORS. Pikkukaupunki Ruotsissa. Nimi on kaunis, mutta paikka rähjäinen. Kaupunkia ympäröivät synkät metsät, joihin ihmiset usein eksyvät ja katoavat. Syyslukukausi on juuri alkanut, kun yksi lukion oppilaista löydetään kuolleena koulun vessasta. Kaikki olettavat, että kyseessä on itsemurha. Paitsi ne, jotka tietävät totuuden. MATS STRANDBERG The engelsfors trilogy: The Circle, fire & The key B. ELFGREN SARA Eräänä yönä kuu värjäytyy salaperäisen punaiseksi, ja kuusi lukiolaistyttöä löytää itsensä hylätystä puistosta. Tytöillä ei ole mitään yhteistä. Yksi on luokan suosituin, toinen kiusattu, kolmas omaa tietään kulkeva gootti, neljäs kunnollinen huippu- oppilas… Pian selviää, että paha on saapunut Engelforsiin, ja ilman toisiaan tytöt eivät selviydy hengissä.

Piiri on urbaania, skandinaaviseen koulumaailmaan sijoittuvaa, koukuttavaa fantasiaa. Teos kertoo vetoavasti nuorena olemisen vaikeudesta, koulukiusaamisesta, ihastumisista ja kaiken voitta- vasta ystävyydestä. Piiri on trilogian ensimmäinen osa.

Mats Strandberg on kirjailija, jolta on aiemmin julkaistu kolme teosta. Piiri on hänen ensimmäinen nuortenkirjansa. Sara B. Elfgren on käsikirjoittaja.

It’s been over a month since the tragedy in Engelsfors High School. But before the Chosen Ones have a chance recover, their world is turned upside down again.

Time is running out for them to fulfil the prophecy and save the world. Whether they succeed or not, one thing is certain:

Everything is about to change . . .

In this final instalment of the Engelsfors story that started with The Circle and continued with Fire, questions will be answered; secrets revealed and loyalties tested to the limit.

45 When you feel like all the things you do are forced on you and you just hate everything and everyone, what if you found a bubble that could take you away from the boredom of every day life.

bubble Abbie is a slave. Forced to get out of bed, forced to attend school, forced to learn things she’ll never need, forced to live with the nickname Bubble, forced to use skimmed milk instead of whole milk, forced to attend swim classes and forced to sing in the stinking Christmas choir. She is bound to follow other people’s rules, in a crappy town, in a crappy world.

After the worst day in school, she finds a mysterious glass globe in the graveyard, with a ragdoll inside. The globe grows into a giant bubble, so big she can walk in and out. It is the key to the freedom she has been waiting for. And it flies! Finally, she can quit the world! Abandon everyone and be completely left in peace. Just her, and that creepy doll. Forever...

46 Odin’s Child The Rot The Might 672 pages 512 pages 504 pages The Raven Rings Universe In THE RAVEN RINGS series the classic elements of fantasy literature have been reinvented. There are no prophecies, no dragons, and no magic swords. There is magic, to be sure, but you won’t find that word in the book. The protagonist is a resourceful, female outcast, living with a savage Northerner who deals drugs. She is not ”chosen”, and has no special powers. In fact, what sets her apart is the terrifying fact that she lacks the powers that everyone else has.

The series builds on Norse mythology, but is far from defined or restricted by it. Dealing with matters of xenophobia, blind faith and the right or will to lead, this is epic fantasy literature with a purpose. raven rings rights Norway: Gyldendal Finland: Art House/Jalava film rights Brazil: Editoria Valentina Italy: Multiplayer Maipo Films, Norway Czech Republic : Host Poland: Rebis Publishing Denmark: Høst & Søn Sweden: B.
