Announcing Norstedts unique Stieg Larsson app for iPhone: Chasing Salander - The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

Today sees the launch of Norstedts new app inspired by "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and the Millennium world.

The app brings you 14 scenes, embedded in a new story, Chasing Salander. Internationally acclaimed photographer Pieter ten Hoopen’s stunning pictures are enhanced by a specially commissioned script written by Fredrik T. Olsson. The read is by actor Shanti Roney. Each scene features multiple short texts - from the books and both the real and fictitious world surrounding Millennium.

The English language app has been created for an international market.

"The app further expands the Millennium world by adding new dimensions which give Stieg Larsson fans around the world an even richer reading experience. Interest in the Millennium series and Stieg Larsson’s Stockholm continues to be massive, not least in the US," says Eva Gedin, Publishing Director Fiction at Norstedts Publishing Group.

"Developing this app has been exciting because this is a format that allows us to explore new creative ways of blending images, text and sound. Thanks to the high quality in every component, we’re able to give the user a strong sense of stepping right inside the Millennium world," adds Klas Fjärstedt, Project Manager Digital Media at Norstedts Publishing Group.
