Opening the doors…
In Partnership with Gothenburg
This just personalizes your visit — readers and authors from everywhere are equally welcome at BuchGoth.
BuchGothFairThree floors of booths, live talks and cinematic trailers — an international gathering of authors, publishers and readers from across the industry, proudly hosted together with BuchBoost and its partners across five language markets.
A glimpse of the books, authors and partners bringing this fair to life.
Nicolas Antoniucci is one of the most restlessly imaginative voices in French-language speculative fiction — a novelist who moves between drowned sixth continents, war-scarred star systems, alien light and jungle-swallowed temples with the same hypnotic confidence. Publishing through Éditions Couleur Sodium, he has spent years building a body of work that refuses to sit still: space opera, ecological suspense, philosophical essays and one unforgettable island mystery, all written, in his own words, "to explore the invisible, question the world and awaken the imagination."
2026 has been a landmark year for him: Brown University's Department of Literary Arts named him Best Author of the Year for Cnidaria, and Litnix Journal devoted a full reader interview to his work. BuchGothFair is honored to give him this year's featured spotlight.
Certains secrets traversent le temps. Certaines îles en gardent la mémoire. Thirteen years after a night that ended in violence, a woman is drawn back to the island that never let her go — and to a secret the island was never finished with either. Equal parts fevered suspense novel and decadent, sun-bleached fable, it's Nicolas Antoniucci at his most hypnotic: murder, obsession and buried inheritance under jungle heat and ancient stone.
"Un roman envoûtant où se mêlent enquête, érotisme, magie et quête de vérité." — Couleur Sodium

Spend five minutes with Lucile Gauchers and she'll strike you as simply kind — warm, unassuming, easy to talk to. Spend five more talking about her writing, and a surprisingly sharp intelligence comes into view: decades of close, patient attention to people, to memory, and to the small human "deviations" that quietly reveal who we really are. She has published across genres, from romance to psychological short fiction, but the thread running through all of it is remarkably consistent.
Her prose has an unusual effect on readers: it carries a good, gentle kind of nostalgia — familiar, softly lit, unhurried — and somehow leaves you calmer than it found you. Where other authors chase suspense, Gauchers offers something rarer: a sense of peace, and the quiet feeling of being understood. It's writing that heals a little, one story at a time.
Twelve dark, closely observed short stories, each built around a character whose ordinary, pleasant surface gradually gives way to something more troubling underneath. Gauchers examines her subjects with patience rather than judgment — no moralizing, no exaggeration — simply a clear, compassionate eye for the deviations of human nature, and what they say about the rest of us.
"Sans moraliser ni enjoliver ou noircir, l'auteure dénonce avec justesse et objectivité les dérapages qui sévissent dans la société." — from the publisher's description (Éditions Abatos)
There are poets who describe the world, and then there are poets like Gordana Benić, who seem to listen to it. To read her is to be let quietly into someone's inner cosmos — tender, luminous, unhurried. And to speak with her, even briefly, is to feel something rarer still: a genuine warmth, a gentle curiosity about you, the kind of quiet kindness that makes a stranger feel instantly at home. It sits alongside a mind that is, frankly, surprising in its depth — she moves between the visual, the mystical and the deeply human with the ease of someone who has spent a lifetime paying close attention.
Her writing carries that same duality: it is dreamlike without ever losing its footing in real feeling. We are genuinely moved to welcome her to this fair — not only for the beauty of her pages, but for the warmth of the person who wrote them.
A journey along the edges of an expanded reality — a mystical crossing between the earthly and the cosmic. Visions, reflections and vibrations from a world invisible to the eye: a mirrored, alternate cosmos in which the stars speak their own mysterious language. Published by MeandarMedia, a house that — in their own words — "nurtures literature with soul and vision."
"Snažna vizualnost stihova koja spaja realno i virtualno, zemaljsko i kozmičko, zbiljsko i spiritualno." — a striking visual quality to the verses, uniting the real and the virtual, the earthly and the cosmic, the actual and the spiritual.
Torbjørn Ydegaard has spent decades on and around the ice — travelling Greenland's coastlines, sitting with its history, and listening closely to the people who call it home. That combination shows in his writing: it has the authority of someone who has actually been there, and the warmth of someone who genuinely respects the land and its people rather than simply narrating it.
The History of Greenland is his sweeping account of that story — from prehistoric hunting cultures through to independence in the late modern era — written to be read by explorers, families, teachers and the curious alike.
A complete, accessible history of Greenland — its earliest hunting cultures, its long relationship with Denmark, and its path toward independence in the modern era — told by a writer who has spent real time on its coastlines and with its communities.
Fifty unforgettable stories of courage, imagination, perseverance and creativity — and the companion extras built around them.
There's a warmth to Marina Tirion's writing before you even reach the first page — a sweet, generous energy that carries straight through to how her readers describe finishing one of her books. She writes with a rare combination: wildly imaginative, out-of-the-box world-building paired with the kind of disciplined, organized craftsmanship that keeps a sprawling fantasy series feeling controlled and intentional at every turn.
Readers of the Athánatos (Immortel) series consistently describe the same feeling: being swept onto the greatest adventure of their reading year, gold-flecked and starlit, never quite knowing what the next chapter will do to their heart. That's the signature of a Marina Tirion book — beauty, creativity, and pure momentum, all at once.
Book one of the Athánatos (Immortel) saga — a star-crossed, gold-and-shadow fantasy about immortality, longing, and the price of a curse that refuses to stay buried. Available now on Amazon and Goodreads.

The saga continues — the curse tightens its grip, an abduction shatters what little peace remained, and the Athánatos (Immortel) world grows darker and stranger with every chapter. Same sweeping, gold-flecked adventure, raised stakes.
Alicia Ortego writes the kind of children's books parents end up quoting back to their own kids. Communication is my Superpower turns pause, listen, and speak into a gentle, joyful superpower story — teaching young readers that the words they choose can connect hearts, heal feelings, and genuinely change the world around them.
It's warm without being preachy, playful without losing the lesson — exactly the kind of book that earns a permanent spot on the shelf. Ages 4–8.
Jean-Luc Godard writes poetry the way a craftsman sets a table: with care, patience, and an eye for what actually nourishes. His collection Aujourd'hui ma table — Paroles & Propos, published by L'Harmattan in their Poésie(s) collection, gathers words meant simply to help us inhabit the world, and ourselves, a little more gently.
The collection carries a preface by Christian Libens and pictorial readings by Anne-Marielle Wilwerth — a quiet, dignified body of work built for readers who want language that lingers rather than shouts.
Paroles & Propos — a collection of poetry from L'Harmattan's Poésie(s) imprint, prefaced by Christian Libens with pictorial readings by Anne-Marielle Wilwerth.
"Des mots pour habiter le monde et soi." — from the book's cover
Veronika A. Grager writes thrillers that move fast and cut close — near-future paranoia, crime scenes that won't stay buried, and a prose style built for readers who want to turn just one more page. Her catalogue spans hard-edged thrillers like Nanobots and Teufelskreis, plus genre-bending work that blends fantasy, science fiction and crime.
Her books are available now in Kindle Edition, with more titles on the way — a restless, prolific voice among this fair's Special Authors.
A packed thriller for crime-fiction fans — near-future tension, a war-torn backdrop, and a nanotech threat closing in fast. Available now in Kindle Edition.
