Lost in post-production
Back in October 2015, I announced that one of my books was being filmed. The movie, based upon my award winning novel Alt det hun ville ønske hun ikke forstod, was to be called Finale and was set to premiere in Danish theaters around Halloween 2016.
Well, that didn’t happen.
When I made the announcement in October 2015 the movie had already been shot, partly on location at a small gas station outside Copenhagen and in a film studio in Lyngby, and the raw material was already in post-production. Nobody expected there to be any reason for the film not to be ready for Halloween. However, it wasn’t.

A teaser poster for the movie, Finale.
I do not have a lot of info about why it wasn’t. I only know that is was delayed and then delayed again and then again. Halloween went with no premiere. Then the hope was a premiere in spring 2017, and that didn’t happen either.
Now, I guess, the aim seems to be a premiere maybe late 2017 or early 2018. Maybe even later. I don’t know. I am just the writer of the original material, the novel the movie is based upon, I am not the first to know. I am getting a little impatient by now but then again there is nothing to do but wait.
At this point, an English translation of the novel is almost ready to be published. It’s really just waiting for the movie. I will get back to this, soon, I hope.

IN THE SHADOW OF SADD published as a BOOKTRACK
The Tarantino inspired novel, In the Shadow of Sadd, that I co-wrote with Sara Blaedel, Gretelise Holm and Lars Kjaedegaard has been published as a Booktrack.
A Booktrack is an e-book with soundtrack—music, ambience and sound effects playing as you read along. It’s a whole new way to read. I used to envy movies for their background music, but not anymore.
A Booktrack costs a little more than the traditional e-book, but it’s worth the extra cents.
Where to get it? Right HERE.

New look, new times, new books, new movie
In Denmark, I am best known for my work in the horror genre. I have been nicknamed The Danish King of Horror, and I have been nominated for the award Best Danish Horror Book of the Year twice, and have won it once. Still, in English, I have only published crime and thrillers so far. That is about to change.
The annonced horror movie Finale (based upon a novel of mine), has been filmed and is by now somewhere in post production. I will tell you more about this film as soon as I get any news.
At this point, I am working on English versions of three of my horror novels. They will be published around the premiere of the movie. So stay tuned.

Sabotage
Two novels in one book
Sabotage contains both Sabotage Group BB novels, by the award winning author Steen Langstrup: The Informer & Codename Panzer
The Sabotage Group BB novels are a pair of rapid and raw crime noir tales about one of the darkest times in the history of Denmark. The German occupation 1940 to 1945.
Steen Langstrup’s work has been translated into several foreign languages including Swedish and Spanish, his books have been filmed, ‘Kat’ (2001) and ‘Finale’ (2016).
‘The Informer’ was nominated ‘Best Nordic Crime Novel’ of the year and selected one of the best 36 books ever for a relaxing read on the beach by the major Danish newspaper Berlingske.
“Do yourself a favor – if you’re looking for killer crime fiction from an author you may not have heard of before – check out Steen Langstrup. He’s a talented guy with some serious chops as a writer.”
Bestselling American Crime Author Dan Ames
‘A dense, psychological and realistic thriller. Read it!’
Bestselling Danish Crime Author Jesper Stein Larsen
‘The author of fifteen novels, Steen Langstrup was unfamiliar to me. Based on this novel, THE INFORMER likely won’t be the last for me. The man knows how to tell a story and showed me a bit of history about WWII … Recommended. Should be on a lot of reading lists. Well worth the modest price.’ —American blog Not The Baseball Pitcher.
‘Outstanding noir novel.’ — The Danish newspaper Politiken.
‘This book is more than important … This is a book you simply can’t put down, you will read it all the way to the end once you have opened it.’ —The Swedish newspaper Piteå-Tidningen.
‘An absorbing read. The classic game of chess in literary form … a surprising blast of a well-constructed and juicy ending.’ —The Finnish magazine Ruumiin Kultturi.
“He can still write the asses off most competitors and put some perspective to many happy amateurs of the genre.”
Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet.
