Let the Right One In John Ajvide Lindqvist
This is not some run-of-the-mill ‘tween vampire pulp. This is dark, at times disturbing, and has a down-to-earth, gritty feel to it that is sure to make it a classic of the genre, even if it joined the ‘game’ a little late. People have likened Lindqvist to a Swedish Stephen King, and I can’t deny it. This is my first stab at contemporary Vamp Fic, and I was amazed. I was pretty leery and skeptical of this whole developing vampire phenomenon, but I am glad I went out a limb with this one. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to dabble in modern Vampire and Horror writing, but at the same time wants something a little more ‘grown up’ than some of the books out there. And if you like the book, be sure to see the movie that came out last year!
