The works of Swedish writer Mikael Niemi in the last decades cover poetry, young adults’ literature, Bildungsroman, historical and crime fiction, dystopian novel. Among these, here come to focus four works from the author, young adults’ books Kyrkdjävulen (The devil of the Church) and Blodsugarna (The vampires), respectively published in 1994 and 1997, Bildungsroman Populärmusik från Vittula (2000; Popular Music from Vittula, 2003), and dystopian novel Fallvatten (2012). The aim of this study is to piece together images of nature in the author’s books and further discuss key-questions of modernity, like Anthropocene and Capitalocene.
