On page 17 of the novel (English translation) it mentions Oscar's book collection includes Goosebumps.
I believe that series of young adult horror stories was not written until the early 1990's.

Re: Goosebumps
That's right, R.L. Stine's Goosebumps series was first published in 1992. Ah, sweet childhood memories...
Oskar should rather have read John Sinclair (Germany's finest export in pulp fiction)
.
EDIT: I just did some research: The Goosebumps series was apparently not realeased in Sweden until the early 2000s - and not under its proper title (which would be "Gåshud" in Swedish), but among the popular paperback series Kalla Kårar, which as such exists since the 70ies and features a whole span of popular literature from horror to sci-fi. I guess JAL maybe didn't even intend to refer to Stine, but just made up a fictional series of pulp fiction for his novel - which just happened to share its title with Stine's novel series.

Re: Goosebumps
Tape, I must give you props on your research into the Goosebumps question; nicely done.
And for RaVen, good catch on the time-line discrepency. Also, welcome to the ranks of the Infected, a.k.a. Team Eli. :)

Re: Goosebumps
Thanks for the welcome. What a pleasant infection it is! 
I read the novel over and over again....and the same with the DVD. The scenes and dialogue run in an endless loop through my mind.
I wish to visit Blackeberg someday. i found lots of pictures of Blackeberg that I use as my wallpaper on my imac.
I redecorated my Myspace page, lol.( http://www.myspace.com/blackeravenspade) Now to find a hot Swedish man for a relationship! J/k on that one....maybe.

As long as you're not into Janne... Hell, he looks even nastier than myself, and I'm almost proud of that fact .
