Haven’t read Let the Right One In, yet. It’s on the shelf. But damn I loved the movie.
Yes, absolutely. The mix of bleek everyday social realism and gore is briliant. He as a great and original writer, no doubt about it.

Old faint-hearted Jacob. Have you read “Let the Right One In”? I found that more disturbing, and grosser, although I liked both books. I think he does a good job reviving the genres, better than Twilight at least.

Funny, I am in the middle of Handling… (or Hanteringen av odöda in Swedish). I find it kind of hard to read. Too gross and too sad for me to enjoy it. Not saying I dislike it, oh no, just not really a pleasure… You know what I am saying?
I thoroughly enjoyed Ajvide’s short story collection Pappersväggar (Paper Walls) which also include an epilogue to Handling… But then again, my attention span tends to favour short stories.

Is there any pattern to the made up names? The name Goodreads made up for me contains six letters (four, but two are repeated) that are in the name I use for my email address. I wonder that’s what it did – used names that contained as many letters as possible from your contacts email addressses.
