Arno Strobel inspires in Schweinfurt: Psychothriller Stalker kidnaps readers!

The atmosphere in the Schweinfurt city library was electrifying that evening when bestselling author Arno Strobel kidnapped his listeners on an exciting journey into the world of his new psychological thriller "Stalker". The reading was not only an opportunity to experience a prominent author up close, but also an insight into the creative way of thinking one of the most sought-after thriller writers in German-speaking countries.

Strobel started the event with an urgent advice to the literary fans in the hall: "Read the first pages is crucial. If it doesn't pack it, the book may not be the right thing for you." He made the listeners curious with a view of the story about the actor Eric Sanders, who is the focus of his work. Stalking, said Strobel, was not the main topic of the book, which increased the enigmatic and the tension. As he performed his reading passages, he managed to make the characters alive, to equip each figure with their own depth and story.

In dialogue with the audience, Strobel was a humorous and open person who loosened up the atmosphere. His interaction was not only informative, but also charming; It felt like you were among friends with a nice conversation. He also gave personal insights that explained his skills. "The end is always certain for me first," he said. "This gives me the opportunity to interweave the individual storylines in such a way that they end up with conclusions." He was also able to laugh about creative chaos, which sometimes arises in his stories from the development of the characters. "Sometimes a figure turns out to be so stupid that I just have to kill it."

Another highlight of the reading was the revelation of his preference for Stephen King, which he described as his favorite author. "Stephen King is the only person who can write over 20 pages over a mailbox and remains exciting," he said with a smile and revealed that a wall is dedicated to King in his home. This emphasized not only Strebol's passion for writing, but also the importance of literature in his life. Overall, he collected around 2,000 books that reflect his love for stories.

Strobel is a successful writer whose works are regularly on the Spiegel bestseller list. But despite his success, he remained down to earth. He was grateful for every support on his way and illustrated how important contact with his readers is. "I don't want to read in large halls where I can't see the audience. I need this closeness," he explained before signing his books and posing for photos.

The library manager, Nicole Strohrmann, who is a big fan of Strobel's works, was impressed by the response to the reading. "We could have sold three times as many cards," she said, while talking about the plans for future readings. The anticipation for further events suggested the crowd in the library that Arno Strobel is expected again in Schweinfurt.

The reading was not only a celebration of the literature, but also a memory of how important personal interactions between authors and readers are. Arno Strobel made it clear that he tells the stories not only for himself, but also for his readers. "Look if you appear in my next book," he said with a wink and left the feeling of being part of his literary world among everyone present. A real gain for the cultural scene in Schweinfurt and an undogmatic diagram of appreciation for books and stories.
