Mats Strandberg is a literary cult waiting to happen: Blood Cruise is terrifying and terrifying real, a must-read for fans of Stephen King and John Ajvide Lindqvist - Elizabeth Hand, author of Generation Loss and Hard LightA rip-roaring, redraw horror thriller which zips along without pausing for breath … Grim, gripping and claustrophobic … Blood Cruise is a real blast of fetid air in vampire fiction, viscerally enjoyable, deftly plotted and throbbing with a real sense of mounting horror and urgency. It’s a rousing, vibrant and fabulously bloodthirsty read, which reminds us why we’re supposed to be scared of vampires rather than simply finding them mysteriously attractive and alluring - StarburstIf you are a horror fan than I strongly suggest you check this novel out. Things start slow, but when all Hell finally breaks loose, it does so with an unrestrained glee … A strong contender for my horror novel of the year. Tense, emotional, and at times downright nasty. I loved it - The Eloquent PageMats Strandberg writes sharp as a fang and like the safe hand of a captain he effectively navigates his bloody action - Politiken (Denmark s biggest newspaper)Sweden has a new horror king - City magazine, SwedenMats Strandberg has an unbeatable skill in putting focus on Swedish everyday life and mixing it with classic horror. In Blood Cruise the Finnish ferry’s sleepy everyday life became an inferno of blood - Dagens Nyheter (Sweden s biggest morning paper)As original as it is eerie - Andreas Trojan, Borsenblatt (Germany)About The Author
Mats Strandberg
Mats Strandberg is an award-winning writer of adult, YA, and children’s fiction. He was born in the small industrial town of Fagersta, in the middle of the Swedish forest. This place inspired Engelsfors, the setting for the internationally bestselling YA fantasy Engelsfors Trilogy (with co-author Sara B. Elfgren). The books in the trilogy are The Circle, Fire, and The Key. They have been published in 30 countries, and ABBA founder Benny Andersson turned the first book, The Circle, into a hit movie.
Blood Cruise, his fourth solo novel, is a top ten bestseller across Europe. Mats is currently writing the screenplay for it with frequent collaborator Sara Elfgren. His award-winning journalism earned him the title of Columnist of the Year for his regular columns for Aftonbladet, Sweden’s biggest evening newspaper.
