Narration During Books Färjan
I kväll ska 1 200 förväntansfulla passagerare åka på en kryssning mellan Sverige och Finland. Men det finns något ondskefullt ombord på den här resan. Mitt i natten är färjan plötsligt avskärmad från omvärlden. Det finns ingenstans att fly. Det finns inget sätt att kontakta land. Och du vet inte vem du kan lita på.Mats Strandberg följer upp succén med Engelsfors-trilogin med en spännande skräckroman. Liksom i Engelsfors blandas det socialrealistiska med det övernaturliga, på en plats som många svenskar har en relation till. Här får vi lära känna både passagerare och personal. Den ensamma gamla kvinnan som söker äventyret. Den avdankade schlagerstjärnan som leder karaokekvällarna. Mannen som tidigare jobbat ombord och nu återvänder för att iscensätta ett spektakulärt frieri. Ordningsvakten som med sina tre kollegor försöker kontrollera det dagliga kaoset ombord. De tolvåriga kusinerna som var bästa vänner innan en familjehemlighet kom emellan dem.
Relationer sätts på prov. Vanliga människor tvingas bli hjältar. Men det som händer den här natten kan också locka fram det värsta i dem. Välkommen ombord på Baltic Charisma.

In the beginning it was kind of slow and didn't have that excitement I wished for. It took me more than 200 pages to get a flow. My opinion is to give it a chance but to be aware that it contains a lot of blood. Like so freaking much blood it's insane.This is how Stephen King used to write: when his books were still scary. The author is certainly not afraid of killing off major characters! His observations of drunken passengers on the Baltic booze cruise are very accurate: in fact it's difficult to decide whether their behaviour is worse before or after their 'change'. There is plenty of gore but it is never gratuitous and the characters are well drawn. Kudos to the translator too!
Horror was my first love and after going through a drought of truly terrifying reads I was ready to get my teeth stuck into Blood Cruise. I was not disappointed! A booze cruise goes wrong, people are dying and something is hungry and hellbent on destruction and world domination.I got really attached to certain characters including Pia, Calle and Vincent and was truly invested in them surviving. Others, like Dan Appelgren I couldn't wait to get their just desserts. A fantastic story which would
Audiobooked this one on the commute to and from my internship, which might either be why I was able to finish it, or why I rated it low. The narrator was a snooze pill and I dozed off several times. Having it on highest speed helped a little. Reading (listening) about people going on a cruise on a rundown ferry is as trashy as you might guess. Most of the cruising parts of the plot was cringey and trashy (just as actual cruises on these less luxury ferries are, which is why I don't go on them).
3.5Creepy af, entertaining, a good read!
Having made sure that this was NOT a zombie novel (thank you to the kind reader on Goodreads, who reassured me on that point), I embarked on this horror novel with interest. It is only 548 pages long, but not massively so. However, the paperback version of this was a real doorstopper and it took me a while to read, as I could not face lugging it about with me on my daily commute. That said, I was always keen to pick it up and found it a really interesting read.The premise is that a group of
Mats Strandbergs Blood Cruise caught my attention when a friend added it to her Goodreads reading list. It was definitely the bloody cover that drew me in, implying godawful things having taken place on a ship (the imagination quickly shuddering at being stuck at sea, nowhere to run or hide); but it also reminded me of how horror novel book covers used to be in the 80s and 90s schlocky, gory, pulpy. The kind I loved as a teenager.Some months later, with a brand new Kindle in hand, I decided to
