John Ajvide Lindqvist's international bestseller Let the Right One
In is "a brilliant take on the vampire myth, and a roaring good story"
(New York Times bestselling author Kelley Armstrong), the basis for
the multi-film festival award-winning Swedish film, the U.S. adaptation
Let Me In directed by Matt Reeves (The Batman), and the Showtime TV
series.
It is autumn 1981 when inconceivable horror comes to Blackeberg, a
suburb in Sweden. The body of a teenager is found, emptied of blood, the
murder rumored to be part of a ritual killing. Twelve-year-old Oskar is
personally hoping that revenge has come at long last--revenge for the
bullying he endures at school, day after day.
But the murder is not the most important thing on his mind. A new girl
has moved in next door--a girl who has never seen a Rubik's Cube before,
but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though,
something odd. And she only comes out at night. . .
