Get ready for FANTASTIKA 2018

I am now in the hectic final preparation stages for this weekend's big event:
FANTASTIKA 2018, the national Swedish SF/Fantasy convention, with a stellar cast of guests (Mike Carey, Kij Johnson, Ian Watson) and lots of fans, writers and artists mingling.

I will participate in two panel debates (if only I can think of something interesting to say besides "err" and "well" and "what he said"), and I will try to sell and sign some books.

The convention staff has wisely fixed a book shop for all visiting authors. This means I will -- for once -- have the time to mingle with fans, authors and artists for THREE WHOLE DAYS. Wo-hoo!

See you there!

UPDATE (June 20): I have returned from a very pleasant congress visit, and will shortly post a report about in on this blog -- in Swedish.

PRECINCT 20: Dead Strange

"Yngve's stories bring together the relentless logic of Isaac Asimov and the unpredictable weirdness of Philip K. Dick. A fascinating read!"
- KG Johansson, author and rock musician

"The short stories of A. R. Yngve are fast-paced and wildly imaginative, casually mixing black comedy with genuine dread."
- Cecilia Wennerström, editor and publisher, Wela Fantasy (welaforlag.se)

In the oldest part of the City lies the 20th Precinct. It's a strange place... dead strange. All murders in Precinct 20 are weird. The area seems to exist on top of a crack in reality, where nightmares seep out... and people fall in. In this unsettling, slowly decaying district, nicknamed "the place where careers go to die," Innis Garris is the one detective on the Precinct 20 Homicide squad who tries to solve any murder mystery... no matter how impossible or insane.

The short fiction collection PRECINCT 20: DEAD STRANGE contains material which has previously been published on Wattpad, plus several original stories.
