TV Series: Marianne (Netflix)

In the French television series, horror writer Emma returns to her hometown, the beautiful, barren and (unfortunately) fictional city of Elden. She realizes that what she writes about in her novels is happening in reality and she must be tamed with the evil demon Marianne. The series is sometimes really nasty but also a nice story about how important teenage friendships are.

Book: The Institute (Albert Bonniers Publishers)

In Stephen King's latest novel, the highly gifted Luke Ellis is kidnapped into a remarkable institute in Maines forests. It is an unpleasant place where evil adults perform horrible experiments on children with supernatural abilities.

Stephen King, as many times before, shows that he is not only a specialist in terror, but also a master at portraying children.

Audiobook: The Ferry (Norstedts)

Together with Sara Bergmark Elfgren, Mats Strandberg has written the popular Engelsfors trilogy (Rabén & Sjögren). In the books Circle, Fire and Key we meet a bunch of young witches who encounter challenges of both everyday and occult nature.

For the slightly more courageous, young bookkeeper, the next natural step is Mats Strandberg's first pure horror novel The Ferry. On the Finnish charity Baltic Charisma there is something vicious on board, something that infects…

The best thing about the Ferry is the person gallery and especially the young people Lo and Albin. Their dialogue is brilliantly rendered by actor Johan Ehn in the audiobook version.
