Emma Ångström

Emma Ångström is an author, journalist, song writer, lighting designer and architect. She has a Master’s degree in architecture from the Royal Technical University in Stockholm and from Parsons in New York. Besides her writing she currently works as Communications Officer at the Swedish Museums Association.

In an interview in Scan Magazine Ångström was asked what she wants to do with her authorship and she replied: "I'm not interested in writing books for the reader to figure out who the murderer is. I want to explore human motivations, write exciting, driven stories that also reveal something more, about relationships, vulnerability, loneliness, shifts in power, societal structures and grief - difficult things that can be made more easily accessible and possible to explore through literature".

In 2016 THE MAN IN THE WALL was released, a remarkable and nerve wracking thriller with a ”monster” it is hard not to feel certain sympathy with. And a little girl that finds her own wonderland together with someone she can’t present to the rest of the family.

In recent years Emma Ångström has written two series where she explores women's vulnerability and the psychological mechanisms that can keep them in destructive relationships.

"Up until now I've written stand-alone novels, but I wanted to create a larger universe and characters that readers get to know and hang out with for a long time. Now I have finally found a format that feels exciting to explore.
I want to write about vulnerable women, women who have been affected by violence in various ways — physical, psychological, financial, material — but I want to focus on the driving forces of my characters. I'm interested in the psychology behind destructive relationships, what makes women stay in situations they know are harmful.
Unfortunately, there are infinitely many - these are series that can grow to any size."
