Julius Regis

Born in Stockholm on July 20, 1889, he wrote under the name Julius Regis after adopting it in 1908. Reliable reference sources describe him as a Swedish author, crime writer, and journalist, and note that he spent his whole life in Stockholm.

Regis became especially known for entertaining suspense fiction. His detective and mystery writing included the Maurice Wallion stories, and his novel No. 13 Toroni was published in English in 1922. Sources also connect him with the short story The Paradise of the Ice Wilderness.

He was not only a fiction writer. Contemporary reference material says he took a strong interest in film, wrote for Filmvärlden and Filmjournalen, and contributed most of the chapters to Filmens roman (1920), described as the first Swedish book on film. He died in Stockholm on January 10, 1925, at just 35 years old.
