Ville Otto-Erik Hyt\u00f6nen (has also published books under the pseudonym of Anna Halmkrona<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span>, born 9 April <\/font>1982) is a Finnish writer and publisher residing in and frequently writing about Estonia.<\/font><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hyt\u00f6nen was born in Porvoo and has lived in Estonia since 2013. He writes in Finnish. He was the founder and executive manager of the Finnish publishing house Savukeidas. He was also among the founders of a bookshop in Tampere and a literature centre in Turku. Since 2022 he is the chairman of the Finnish Writers\u2019 Union. He lives in Tallinn and in L\u00e4\u00e4nemaa County.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Several of his books for children and two novels have been translated into Estonian. The action of Hyt\u00f6nen\u2019s novel Jumala koerad<\/i> (\u2018God\u2019s Dogs\u2019)<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span> takes place in Estonia. The historical thriller takes the reader to the small town of Lihula in the late 17th century. Sorcerer Aaprami who has fled from Finland and old man Thies who has been banished from Riga as a werewolf have settled in a hut that has been forsaken in the famine years. The story speaks about hatred for foreigners and love for your neighbour, and how fear, superstition and prejudices make people lose their wits. The language of the book turns funny somersaults and creates a historical atmosphere.<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The novel Johannes-Andreas<\/em> (2022, in Estonian Johannes+Andreas. Romaan armastuse patust; kurit\u00f6\u00f6st Jumala ja sotsialismi vastu<\/em> \u2013 \u2018Johannes+Andreas. A Novel of the Sin of Love; Crime against God and Socialism\u2019, 2022) is based on the crimes that shook Estonia in the final years of the ESSR, during which the serial killer Johannes-Andreas Hanni killed and ate several people. The novel focuses on the relationship between the murderer and his wife.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In cooperation with Tuulia Matilainen, Hyt\u00f6nen has also compiled a collection of Estonian ghost stories, Aaveiden Eesti. Kummitustarinoita Virosta<\/i> (\u2018Ghosts\u2019 Estonia. Ghost Stories from Estonia\u2019).<\/font><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
