Anders Fager Johansson (born 1964) is a Swedish game designer and horror writer.
Born in Stockholm, eighteen year old Fager joined Äventyrspel in 1982 to travel around the country demonstrating Sweden's first role-playing game, Drakar & Demoner , a game that at the time was compared to "improvised radio theatre". Fager wrote Spindelkonungens pyramid , the first role-playing game adventure published in Swedish.

After among other things an army career, Fager made his debut as a writer in 2009 with the short story collection Swedish Cults (Svenska kulter) that received a most favourable review in Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter [6] and launched Fager's career as full-time writer. Fager writes modern urban horror in a style he has repeatedly described as ”what would happen if James Ellroy took on H.P. Lovecraft”. Set in present-day Sweden, his interconnected stories form a modern part of the Cthulhu mythos with entities such as Dagon, Hastur and Nyarlathotep making appearances. Fager's fictional world, known as "The Cult's World", has been made into a role playing game and a graphic novel and his stories has been worked into the Swedish edition of role playing game Call of Cthulhu . Fager has been published in Finland, Italy and France. [7]
In the 2010s he has written role-playing supplements for such games as Kult, Twilight: 2000 , Call of Cthulhu, Tales from the Loop and the new release of Chock, originally a Swedish translation of the RPG Chill . [5] In 2020 his short story "Backstairs" was published by US publisher Valancourt Books. [8] In 2022 Fager and artist Peter Bergting's graphic novel The Crows was published by Dark Horse Comics.
