Throughout his life, Johan Theorin has been a regular visitor to the Baltic island of Öland. His mother’s family – sailors, fishermen and farmers - have lived there for centuries, nurturing the island’s rich legacy of strange tales and folklore. A journalist by profession, Johan now lives in Gothenburg.

Echoes from the Dead (originally published in Sweden as Skumtimmen) is Johan’s first novel. In 2007 it was voted Best First Mystery Novel by the authors and critics of the Swedish Academy of Crime, and it has been translated into twelve languages.

Quotes by Johan Theorin (?)

“The May sunshine makes both the trolls and the elves disappear, he thought. They burst like soap bubbles. Only human beings remain, for a little while. We are a brief song beneath the sky, laughter in the wind that ends in a sigh. Then we too are gone.”
― Johan Theorin, Blodläge

“Felicidades, tu nueva vida empieza ahora." Pero ha pensado eso tantas veces... Uno puede cambiar de trabajo y mudarse a una nueva ciudad, pero en realidad nada cambia. Se está atrapado en el mismo cuerpo, la misma escoria circula por la sangre, los mismos recuerdos dan vueltas en la cabeza.”
― Johan Theorin, Sankta Psyko

“The days passed.
Viveca waited. Waited and slept. Every morning when she woke up, she felt a little brighter. She felt stronger, and when she caught her reflection in the mirror, she looked younger. And the hands of the clock kept on moving backwards, and in the end Viveca began to suspect what was happening in this house of stone:
Time was moving backwards!”
― Johan Theorin
