Harbour (Swedish: Människohamn) is a 2008 horror/drama novel by Swedish writer John Ajvide Lindqvist about a cursed island called Domarö in the Stockholm archipelago.
Plot introduction
[edit]The story follows Anders whose young daughter goes missing one winter day. Several years later an alcoholic and divorced Anders returns to the island. The novel also follows Anders' step grandfather on the island, the illusionist Simon, who is starting to notice that there is something strange with the island and the sea itself.
Author's device
[edit]John Ajvide Lindqvist has said that the one concept he wanted to use in his novel from the start was that of using two ghosts driving around on a moped and speaking only in The Smiths quotes.
