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
