The Monkees - caught in a false image, biography, Underskoven, 2001
Remember the Monkees? Of course you do! In the sixties Micky Dolenz, Davy Jones, Mike Nesmith and Peter Tork starred in the famous TV series about a pop group and eventually turned into a pop group themselves, thereby becoming the first manufactured boy band in the world. Now the Monkees celebrate their 35^th anniversary and they are still going strong. This book started out as an interview with Peter Tork and developed into a complete biography on the Monkees. The main focus is placed on the Monkees' visual works, especially the TV show, the feature film HEAD and the TV special 33 1/3 Revolutions Per Monkee, which are all submitted to thorough analyses. Furthermore the book includes an annotated discography, accounts of the many concert tours as well as an annotated listing of each episode of the show and a bibliography for further reading.

Twisted Tales of Thanatos, short story collection, Underskoven, 2003
Twisted Tales of Thanatos is Lise Lyng Falkenberg's first work of fiction in English. The short stories have previously been published in Danish where they have been selected from the author's two short story collections and different literature magazines. The author herself has translated them into English for this collection. The short stories tell about second sighted rock musicians, disillusioned mistresses, fetishistic artists and dead childhood friends in a cycle of destinies, anecdotes and snapshots from real life. The magic realism that permeates the seven short stories gives a new and wondrous idea of death in an otherwise mundane, modern society.
