Theology and H.P. Lovecraft
While still relatively unknown to the general public, early twentieth century American horror author H.P. Lovecraft left an indelible stamp upon popular culture. Images of tentacled horrors, forbidden tomes, and protagonists struggling against the insanity that comes with the revelation of the terrible truth of reality–Lovecraft pioneered all of these. Best known for his short story “The Call of Cthulhu,” Lovecraft instantiated his philosophy of cosmicism into every one of his tales. This collection of fourteen essays is the first sustained academic engagement with horror author H.P. Lovecraft from a theological perspective. Covering the major themes of Lovecraft's work such as nihilism, xenophobia, dark cults, and unimaginable horrors beyond the stars, the book is divided into five sections corresponding to each of the divisions of theology: biblical, historical, systematic, practical, and comparative. With responses ranging from admiration to critique, the contributors explore the dark uncharted regions of Lovecraft’s dark mythology in the service of theological truth.
The Life and Death of Sherlock Holmes
Everybody knows about Sherlock Holmes, the unique literary character created by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, who has remained popular over the decades and is more appreciated than ever today. But what made this fictional character, dreamed up by a small-town English doctor back in the 1880s, into such a great success? This is the fascinating and exciting tale of the man and people who created the Holmes legend. The book was winner of the Best Non-fiction Award by The Swedish Crime Writers' Academy 2013 and shortlisted for The Great Non-Fiction Book Prize (Sweden's biggest non-fiction award) in Sweden 2013.

Fra Holmes til Sherlock
Alle kender Sherlock Holmes. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle skabte en litterær figur, som har beholdt sin popularitet i 125 år, og som i dag er mere elsket end nogensinde. Men hvordan kunne denne fiktive skikkelse, som en ung, fattig, engelsk læge fantaserede frem i 1800-tallet, blive sådan en succes? FRA HOLMES TIL SHERLOCK er bogen om de mænd og kvinder, der skabte succesen. Om skuespillere, forfattere og fans, som i årti efter årti fornyede den kendte detektiv – fra 1890’ernes gentleman Holmes til 2010’ernes skæve Sherlock. Den er også en tragisk historie om en mand, der forsøgte at flygte fra den figur, han selv havde skabt, og om en arv, der ødelagde en hel slægt. Mattias Boström er en af Skandinaviens førende Sherlock Holmes-kendere, og han giver os i denne bog en fascinerende skildring af verdens bedste detektiv og det mere end hundred år lange spil bag kulisserne.
