[QUOTE="Ulfgeir, post: 8652016, member: 7015719"] Just finished [B]Samlade Svenska Kulter[/B] av Anders Fager (the name of the book directly translates as Collected Swedish Cults). It is a collection of Lovecraftian/Cthulhuesque short stories that are loosely connected. A bit uneven, but the stuff that is good, is very good. Starting with a story called Furierna från Borås (The Furies from Borås). Borås happens to be my hometown, so it was extra fun to read that one, and have heard the author do a reading from it at a gaming convention. Two people fainted during the reading... From other reasons, but still, it is good PR. ;) That story also became a graphic novel called Smutsig Svart Sommar (Dirty Black Summer), which both gave a bit of backstory, and some more of things that happened afterwards. The stories are not for the faint of heart or those that are prudish. So, it is bit complicated, as he first wrote a book, called Svenska Kulter (this book will be released in English in September by the name Swedish Cults). He then wrote 2 more books, but they were not published in Swedish, but rather all 3 books were added together to form Samlade Svenska Kulter. Here's a video that explains it..
