Travel BookTrail style across Stockholm and The Sandman
You certainly get to see the darker side of Stockholm here. The hospitals, the police cells, the psychiatric prison and the solitary confinement cells…
The city is well evoked apart from these creepy places and we go around a city with tiny streets, dark corners and where the unexpected is just out of sight.
Even a nondescript railroad bridge becomes the most chilling place as the novel opens and a lost man is staggering across it
Switch to the top security prison and a man locked in a cell who has killed many, many people…
Stockholm in its everyday, seems all the more creepier when contrasted with such unique and horrific settings.
