Publishing your own books is easier than ever when you can round out both publishers and printers and put the books up for sale - in some cases free and available for reading one day after publication, without any editorial control.
The absolute majority of these reach only a handful of readers, but a new genre - romance novels with the political chaos of recent months in the United States as a theme - has been reviewed by established media and become a snack bar on social media.
The book My antifa lover has also attracted the attention of American Slate, British The Guardian.
Cover and plot are not connected
The book claims to be about a congressman who meets a protester during a "non-violent burning down of a federal building".
In connection with the storming of the Capitolium, the cover circulated on social media - could it even have foreseen the chaos?
- Not at all, nothing happens that is even close to something like that, says Johannes Klenell, cultural editor at Arbetet, who read the book.
You get curious
He believes that the completely open doors for self-publishing have meant that the cover and title do not even have to be connected to what is in the book.
Many of the readers who have left reviews are disappointed, but it costs nothing to publish, the books are sold cheaply and the author's pseudonym risks no loss of prestige.
- I am not surprised that it became a cult title in connection with the storming of the Capitol, when the cover got a real spin.
Of course you get curious, says Johannes Klenell.
The author pseudonym Jessica Stranger has, in addition to My antifa lover, also written short novels that pretend to be about a love affair with Donald Trump and another about a homosexual love affair between members of right-wing extremist Proud boys and a man who works in the Capitol.
