Come Sweet Death is director Walter Rose’s last chance to make a film of a play that has never been performed, plagued by misfortune and written by an author who died by his own hand. Deep in debt

and written off by the industry, Rose assembles a cast from among those desperate enough to accept his terms; Ida, left destitute after leaving her lover; Martin, a fugitive who has relied on the kindness of strangers; and Albert, once a celebrated actor, now dreading old age and the prospect of becoming a has-been.

By night, they film in the condemned and abandoned Stiller Studio.

Before long, they begin to realise that the production may cost them more than they are willing to pay to fulfill their dreams. With every take, the boundary between fiction and reality grows more fragile for the actors. Lines are forgotten, only to be replaced by others, as though the past were speaking for itself. And hidden among the dialogue and stage directions is something that wishes them harm.

Come Sweet Death is an evocative, thrilling and atmospheric novel by the international bestselling author Niklas Natt och Dag.

”An astounding depth of emotions. Brilliant historic scenery, a terrifying abyss of darkness, but also a numbingly beautiful love story. I don’t know anyone else who writes like this.” – Fredrik Backman, New York Times #1 bestselling author
