Happy release day to me! My third novel is out in the world, and unfortunately for the English speakers, it's another one in Swedish - Förledd, a romantic contemporary fantasy filled with queer characters and Scandinavian folklore. Cover by my dear friend Camilla Boring. 🎉🎉🎉

Very happy to be mentioned among so many fantastic authors! Lots of great recs here.

A very interesting read, and as a slush reader I definitely agree with a lot of the things listed here!

"“Hans, take her back to the house,” Liesel said. It would be dark sooner than later. Liesel didn’t want Krista to see what she became when the sun was gone and she was hungry." Brigette Stevenson in @unchartedmag.bsky.social

It looks like the magazine I got an acceptance from in the fall has vanished without a trace. Such a letdown every time this happens!

I was just told that my launch event in Glasgow was going to be cancelled because I don't have *enough* tickets sold. Humiliating—not least because I worked my butt off for this book & went to other people's launches. If I could sell a few more today, maybe I could change their minds. Please.

Cover reveal: SYNDAFALL. My upcoming Swedish novel Syndafall (The Fall) is the first book in historical series Dalens döttrar (Daughters of the Valley) and is published by Bokförlaget Polaris. Out in October! elinolausson.com/svenska/bock...

Here's some excellent news from me! I have a new story in this month's issue of The Dark! It's called "His Most Feared Constellation". In a desolate corner of junkspace, a man makes a cup of tea while he waits for his daughter to visit ✨❄️

Tired but happy after a great day at the book fair Bohusläns bokmässa yesterday! Sold a bunch of books, bought a bunch of books 🙈, and had lots of good chats with visitors and colleagues.

Today is the release day of Skogsland, my first ever published short story that has been translated from English to Swedish. It was originally published as Woodland, in Eerie River Publishing's anthology "The Old Ways Vol. 2". Skogsland is published by Kraxa förlag, and I'm really proud of it. 🖤

Did my first ever author panel last night, together with my illustrator and friend Camilla at the Lidköping City Library. Had loads of fun and sold a few books as well!

HERE IT IS! BROKEN DOLLS COMING SEPTEMBER 2025 That quote had me in literal tears. Share and you're in the drawing for copies of all three books.

I've barely subbed any stories in forever, but today I sent seven hopeful submissions out into the world. Really struggling to find a home for those extremely-quiet-and-not-really-speculative horror pieces.

I've wanted to read Paradise Lost for two decades or more, and now I'm finally doing it and ... wow. The imagery, all the monsters and demons and hellish visions. The darkness, the brutality, the beautiful writing. I love the fact that this book exists.

There were SO many awesome stories pub'd last year in SO many brilliant venues and I know it's impossible for people to read everything. BUT! If you are making lists & voting for awards, take a look at the stories published in Gamut last year. FREE to read online! houseofgamut.com/magazine/

Adding a new POV to my WIP, which so far seems to solve a lot of problems.

Happy book birthday!! 🖤 "At THE BOTTOM OF THE GARDEN" by @camillabruce.bsky.social is out today. If you're looking for a dark whimsical with an evil guardian, young orphans coming into strange powers and lots of ghosts - this is the book for you. 🖤 And we made cake. (wich we will now devour)

Watched this last night and it was fantastic. www.imdb.com/title/tt0038... Wish Hitchcock movies were easier to find, I want to watch all of them!

I'm sorry but there's no Labyrinth without David Bowie & that big... 80s hairdo.

Finished this one last night. Laura Purcell never disappoints! This was gothic and gory and beautifully written, just as expected.

Available for free on Amazon for the next couple of days: my novella Star Shapes, an absurd and slightly disturbing Southern Gothic tale! www.amazon.com/Star-Shapes-...

Brand new review for Weird Horror #8: maggieslater.com/2025/01/22/s... Grateful for the kind words about my story Aster!

Time to sum up 2024! Four short stories and two novels - I'm very proud of all of them and looking forward to the things I have lined up in 2025. 🖤

So, so happy about the acceptance I just got! ❤️

I've come to realize that the reason I'm struggling so much while editing my current WIP is that it's my most literary novel so far, and I'm too attached to all the pretty words and don't want to delete anything. Plot holes be damned. How do I do this?!

People, I'm building a starter pack of weird fiction and related genres! 🐙👁️💫 Are you a writer, artist or publication of the weird, new weird, cosmic horror or gothic strangeness and wanna be added? Let me know! 🙌 I'm a writer & artist myself, btw, and would love to meet y'all! go.bsky.app/5TXFkJz

My first horror novel Silver, out in Swedish in 2024, now has a cover! And it's just as gloomy and eerie as the book. 🖤

Cried tears of joy last night because of an acceptance. Can't wait to tell you more!

Just finished translating one of my short stories from English to Swedish. I know I'm a nerd, but the translating process is honestly so interesting to me. It's the same story but still not.

Thrilled to announce that I am now a reader at Uncharted Magazine! 🎉🎉🎉 I'm just so excited to start working, and I expect I'll be reading a ton of great stories. 🖤

My debut collection now has 25 ratings on Goodreads! ❤️

Subbed 4 stories since yesterday, and I hope I can get some more subs out this week. I love my unpublished stories and I really want to find a home for them.
