Oskar and Eli. In very different ways, they were both victims. Which is why, against the odds, they became friends. And how they came to depend on one another, for life itself. Oskar is a 12 year old boy living with his mother on a dreary housing estate at the city's edge. He dreams about his absentee father, gets bullied at school, and wets himself when he's frightened. Eli is the young girl who moves in next door. She doesn't go to school and never leaves the flat by day. She is a 200 year old vampire, forever frozen in childhood, and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood. John Ajvide Lindqvist's novel, a huge bestseller in his native Sweden, is a unique and brilliant fusion of social novel and vampire legend. And a deeply moving fable about rejection, friendship and loyalty

International Acclaim for Let Me In
“Absolutely chilling. This page-turner grabs you from the onset and just won’t let go. Vampires at their Anne Ricean best!”
---L. A. Banks, author of the Vampire Huntress series
“Sweden’s Stephen King…A classic horror-romance story. I love it. Could not stop reading. More please.”
---Amelia (Sweden)
“A must for vampire fans, even those who think they’ve seen it all.”
---Katherine Ramsland, author of Piercing the Darkness, The Science of Vampires, and The Vampire Companion
“A brilliant take on the vampire myth, and a roaring good story.”
---Kelley Armstrong, bestselling author of Haunted
“Readers are familiar with modern Sweden through its distinctive crime fiction. Now John Ajvide Lindqvist is taking a Gothic look at the country’s dark side. Henning Mankell’s gloomy police procedurals were the first to become international bestsellers in the middle 1990s and spearheaded an explosion, but the latest publishing phenomenon to come out of Sweden seems to be plumping for a different genre. John Ajvide Lindqvist has become an overnight cult figure.”
---The Age (Australia)
“Let Me In, a Swedish book taking the publishing world by storm, is a different, surprising, and sometimes delightful reading experience. Delightful would not normally be the first word that springs to mind when describing a blood-soaked plot.… It is Lindqvist’s great skill that a strong thread of innocence continues alongside this horror.”
---The Sunday Telegraph (Australia)
“It is easy to compare Lindqvist to Clive Barker or Neil Gaiman. When you reach the last page, you are left with the wonderful tingling sensation that only comes with a brand-new love affair or a really great book.”
---Dagens Næringsliv (Norway)
“Impressive…can certainly compare with some of the best international authors…Lindqvist is as learned as Anne Rice as far as the most updated vampire mythology is concerned.”
---Dagens Nyheter (Sweden)
“One of the creepiest and most imaginative stories of the decade…echoes Stephen King at the height of his storytelling powers.”
---Sunday Herald-Sun (Australia)

This was an amazing creepy story! As I was reading the names Stephen King and Stephenie Meyer sprung into my mind. This book was a nice twist of both of their styles but somehow unique as well.
The book says it is 'A Vampire Love Story' but to be honest I didn't find it was much of a love story. Which was good ;) I actually thought this was more like a murder mystery with a small paranormal twist.
I had some trouble getting into the story at first but then the story had me hooked till the end. Scary and thrilling this was unusual and interesting. I wonder if the author will write anything like this again.
I have to say that this is by a Swedish author and has been translated into English. Sometimes the translation was not as good as it could have been and some words were left in Swedish. However it is readable and well worth reading if you like creepy Stephen King like books.
