When the Dead Awaken at the Campsite

A quiet campsite, an unexpected ghost summoning, and a dead person with very specific questions: At the crime reading in the Stieghorst community library, Christiane Antons presents her crime comedy The Camper's Curse Are Dead and Visitors. On Wednesday, November 18, 2026, starting at 7 PM, a literary experience unfolds between suspense, dark humor, and Westphalian campsite idyll.

Campsite Chaos with Heart and Goosebumps

At the center of the story is Margot, a free-spirited hippie retiree and passionate long-term camper. Together with her grandson Max, she playfully attempts a ghost summoning. When suddenly the despised constant grumbler and self-appointed campsite caretaker Mr. Deutschmann appears in her caravan, the criminal case takes an equally absurd and eerie turn: Deutschmann is dead and demands clarification.

With detective instincts, improvisational talent, and a meticulous sense of order, the unusual trio forms an unwilling investigative team. Amid Weser romance, a petanque court, and a snack bar, tragic fates and human abysses come to light. The author combines classic crime tension with the tone of humorous social observation.

The Camper's Curse Are Dead and Visitors is a crime comedy that is also a cozy crime with regional grounding.
