In the organizer's words:

Book Description:

Nine guests are stuck in the Pension Bertoldi, a run-down hostel in the Altmark. Outside lurks the dark Salzruh forest with the former FDGB recreation home "Rudolf Breitscheid", inside lurks the cool landlady Oda Prager and her sedate chambermaid Maria Rosa. Death is lurking somewhere. But only gradually do the guests find out exactly where: outside or inside.

The chamber play-like novel "Salzruh" brushes elements of the horror novel against the grain and deals with themes such as freedom and captivity, loneliness and rebellion.

Susan Kreller, born in Plauen in 1977, studied German and English language and literature and wrote her doctorate on German translations of English-language children's poetry. She has already been nominated four times for the German Youth Literature Prize and won it in 2015 for "Schneeriese". Salzruh is her second novel for adults after Pirasol. She works as a freelance author and lives with her family in Berlin.
