I don't know if anybody has read Killer Fiction by Schaeffer. It's a collection of short stories he wrote filled with his fantasies. It is hard going trying to read them, I don't believe half of what he says but nevertheless he was one sick bastard
Sweden does have a murky past, one that some Swedish non-fiction authors have probably shone the brightest light on, and there are definitely a few communitarian aspects to that culture that can come as a surprise to Anglo-Americans, but blithely labeling it as fascist is something only particularly tendentious and pedantic ideologues would do.
Final Truth by Pee Wee Gaskins (Autobiography written by South Carolina's most infamous Serial Killer, incredibly brutal and stomach turning.)
The book is very expensive so the best you can do without spending hundreds is this scan:
Killer Fiction by Gerard John Schaefer, book written by convicted Serial Killer and ex Deputy Gerard Schaefer, which contains some of the most brutal stories that Schaefer would write, that Detectives believe contain details of his actual crimes.

People buy books with their phones. Your title and name should take up more than 50% of your cover. Look at Kendra Elliott's Merciful Death. https://smile.amazon.com/Merciful-Death-Mercy-Kilpatrick-Book-ebook/dp/B01EN506CO
Newbs (like I am the worst about this) want our covers to be some sort of art. In the trad world they are. But what you want is someone browsing your genre to look at your cover and title and know what you are selling inside. It has to be readable at 100px high. Easily readable. Avoid type faces that are fancy but illegible. Use lots of contrast.
All you want is for them to click it and read your blurb. Amazon has a cover creator that works okay. (I don't use it, though) You use your own pic. Or theirs.

This was already a prompt. One that spawned such a successful result that a book came out of it.
I can't find the original prompt right now, but I'll throw in a link to the authors subreddit and the amazon page anyway.
That was actually a writing prompt over in /r/writingprompts and the writer eventually wrote a whole book. It's a pretty good read.
If anyone wants another free book that also seems to be hilariously mistranslated but sadly isn't, my detective novel Quinn Checks In is usually kicking around the top of the free mysteries chart.
It is fantastic. It's the first part of a trilogy. It's written by a swede, Steig Larsson, who initially planned more books than just those three but died prematurely. It's actually a really sad story because the books became a gigantic success. He was not married to his long-time girlfriend, and his rights and profits fell into his estranged father and brother, whom he had extreme dislike for. I remember reading something about them even being mixed up in some Nazi-like stuff that he represented in his novels.
The book was also made into a great movie directed by David Fincher, director of Fight Club. I'd also recommend the movie. But the swedish adaptations were also made and I haven't seen those movies. The female lead from that movie hit it big in America and she was in Prometheus.
I've purchased about 20 Kindle books and only one has it disabled (Foundation).
Also fwiw, Girl With The Dragon Tattoo doesn't have it anymore
The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was pretty good and worth a read.
