Johan Theorin’s crime novels and Öland How to use the material This material is about the author Johan Theorin and his crime bestsellers that take place on the island of Öland.
The material consists of images and captions for social media. Please make sure to include the names of the photographers of the images you use.
Captions If you go by the books of Johan Theorin, the island of Öland is a dark and mysterious place. Against a backdrop of the four Swedish seasons, his crime bestsellers paint a spooky picture of this normally very picturesque island. 🔦
In real life, Öland is a popular tourist destination. Hundreds of thousands of beach lovers cross the Öland Bridge from the mainland in the summer. 🏖️
And in spring and autumn, bird watchers flock here to watch the migratory birds come back to or fly away from Sweden. Many birds rest and breed at Ottenby on the southern tip of Öland. 🐦
Like 'Nordic noir' literature in general, Theorin's books seem to be a hit among international readers, with titles translated into many different languages. And two of his novels have won the British Crime Writers' Association's Dagger Award. 🌟
Theorin himself used to spend every summer on Öland, listening to his grandparents' stories about trolls and ghosts – probably good inspiration for the crime-prone Öland of his books. 🦹♂️
'The Darkest Room' features a mysterious – and fictional – lighthouse location called Åludden. And the existent lighthouse Långe Erik, located on the northern tip of Öland, is actually rumoured to be haunted... 👻
