Pasi Jääskeläinen

Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen is a Finnish writer best known internationally for novels including The Rabbit Back Literature Society and Where the Trains Turn. Publisher biographies describe him as especially known in Finland for fantasy and science-fiction narratives.

According to his Tor author page, he has won the Kuvastaja Fantasy Prize twice and the Atorox Award four times. That same source says he has also taught Finnish language and literature, which fits the bookish, language-aware feel of his fiction.

His work is often noted for blending the ordinary with the uncanny, creating stories that feel both thoughtful and unsettling. If you enjoy imaginative fiction about memory, storytelling, and the hidden strangeness of small communities, his books are a strong place to explore.
