Oskar Östlund

Hey there! I’m Oskar Östlund, a 35-year-old author from the coastal town of Gävle, Sweden, where I live with my amazing girlfriend and our two kids. Writing has been my passion since I was about 15. I started with roleplaying games and diving deep into the world of dungeon mastering, crafting storylines and characters that would pull players in for hours. That experience shaped how I approach storytelling today, giving me a love for building immersive worlds and dark atmospheres. In 2021, I decided to take the plunge and start my first real book. It was a huge step from the roleplaying content I’d always known, and in 2023, that leap paid off when I got published here in Sweden. Horror and sci-fi have always drawn me in, and I’m all about blending the eerie with the extraordinary, making you wonder what’s lurking just beyond the next page. When I’m not writing, I’m creating content for one of Sweden’s biggest transportation companies. I work in marketing and content production, so storytelling is actually part of my day job too! That side of my life helps me keep my creative muscles sharp, even if it’s not always in a horror or sci-fi context. I’m just getting started on this journey as an author, but I’m excited to see where it goes and to share my stories with more readers. For me, there’s nothing quite like creating something that resonates, makes you think, or just gives you that perfect chill.
