Spotlight | Storytellers by Bjorn Larssen

 

Morning Everyone

Yesterday, Queen Timy, one of my favourite bloggers did an exclusive cover reveal for the new and improved cover for Bjorn Larssen's book Storytellers.

As a follow on from this here is a spotlight on the book, complete with a then and now. 

The new cover has been designed by Ray Grant & Joseph Taylor.

Storytellers is the debut book by Bjorn Larssen and was released in 2019. 

Book Description

If you don’t tell your story, they will.

Iceland, 1920. Gunnar, a hermit blacksmith, dwells with his animals, darkness, and moonshine. The last thing he wants is an injured lodger, but his money may change Gunnar’s life. So might the stranger’s story – by ending it. That is, unless an unwanted marriage, God’s messengers’ sudden interest, an obnoxious elf, or his doctor’s guilt derail the narrative. Or will the demons from Gunnar’s past cut all the stories short?

Side effects of too much truth include death, but one man’s true story is another’s game of lies. With so many eager to write his final chapter, can Gunnar find his own happy ending?

So let's have a look at the covers side by side

About the Author

Bjørn Larssen is an award-winning author of historical fiction and fantasy, dark and funny in varying proportions. His writing has been described as ‘dark,’ ‘literary,’ ‘cinematic,’ ‘hilarious,’ and ‘there were points where I was almost having to read through a small gap between my fingers.’

Bjørn has a Master of Science degree in mathematics, and has previously worked as a graphic designer, a model, a bartender, and a blacksmith (not all at the same time). He currently lives with his husband in Almere, which is unfortunately located in The Netherlands, rather than Iceland.
