Simon James Green

Simon James Green grew up in a small town in Lincolnshire that definitely wasn’t the inspiration for Little Fobbing – so no-one from there can be mad with him, OK? He enjoyed a classic British education of assorted humiliations and barbaric PE lessons before reading Law at Queens’ College, Cambridge, where he further embarrassed himself by accidentally joining the rowing team despite having no upper body strength and not being able swim.

Within weeks he was working in a call centre, had b

Oskar Källner

Oskar Källner uppslukades av den fantastiska litteraturen redan som 9-åring då han närmast maniskt läste Jules Verne. Därefter slukades allt som gick att komma över av Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke och C. J. Cherryh.

Oskar är lika fascinerad av folksagor och myter som av astrofysik. I sitt författande blandar han ofta spekulativa idéer med snabb aktion och existentiella frågor.

Han har givit ut flera fantasyromaner, en hästscience fiction-bok, två bilderböcker för barn och ett stort antal noveller. Sina noveller har han också vunnit flera priser för. Han är publicerad på flera språk, senast i det amerikanska SF-magasinet Future SF. Utöver detta är han engagerad i SF-Sverige och deltar regelbundet i skrivarpodden Fantastis

Elmer Diktonius

Elmer Rafael Diktonius (1896-1961) was a Finnish poet and prosaist who wrote in Swedish. After and along with Edith Södergran, he was the most significant Finnish-Swedish modernist and a member of the 1920's young radicals' literary group Tulenkantajat, to whose newspaper he also contributed. There were both expressionist and imagist influences seen in his works.

Probably best known for experimental 1932 novel Janne Kubik: ett träsnitt i ord (translated into Finnish as Janne Kuutio: puupiirros sanoin by the author himself – ”John Cube: a woodcut put in words”), a story of a red 1918 Civil War fighter, Diktonius was politically active leftist and closely connected to the socialist leader figure Otto Wille Kuusinen.
