Steig Larsson Short Stories Discovered

Posted on June 12, 2010

Stieg Larsson's Millennium series became a huge international bestseller after his death. Two early Steig Larsson works have been discovered. The works are short stories that were written when Larsson was a teenager. They are both science fiction stories. The Independent reports that the deputy national libarian of Sweden is unsure if the newly found short stories will ever be published.

Magdalena Gram, the deputy national librarian of Sweden, told The Independent that the library would be getting in contact with Larsson's father and brother regarding the short stories. Publisher Eva Gedin, who edited the best-selling Millennium trilogy, said that she was unsure whether the new manuscripts would ever be published, but that there had been conversations about releasing other pieces of writing by Larsson.

"It is in the hands of the rights holders if they are interested in having them published," she said.

"We have discussed with his brother publishing articles from Expo [the Swedish magazine Larsson edited] and other magazines."

ABC News says Steigg Larsson had originally planned ten Millennium novels but only made it part of the way through the fourth novel.
