2 december 1968
John Ajvide Lindqvist is een Zweedse auteur die bekend staat om zijn diepgaande verkenning van de duisterdere kanten van de menselijke psyche en maatschappij. Zijn werken duiken vaak in de grensgebieden tussen normaliteit en monsterlijkheid, realiteit en het bovennatuurlijke. Lindqvist schuwt de confrontatie met verontrustende thema's niet en creëert verhalen die zowel angstaanjagend als diep menselijk zijn. Zijn stijl kenmerkt zich door een rauwe intensiteit en een meeslepende kwaliteit die lezers meevoert naar sfeervolle werelden vol spanning en onverwachte wendingen.
**The international bestseller and the book behind the film and play Let Me In** 'The new Stephen King' The Times 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.
A shipping container is mysteriously dumped in the Swedish port town of Norrtalje. Due to their ignorance of its ownership it isn't until a week has passed that the authorities can have it forced open. There the remains of twenty eight refugees are found, a situation of unrelenting horror. Not only that; a black sludge pours out which contaminates the river and is the cause of a new, sickening dread that affects Norrtalje's inhabitants, causing a lack of trust, aggression, violence. It seems like an end to Kindness.Six characters are at the centre of this extraordinary novel, six people in search of love and connection, whose extraordinary qualities will confront the metaphysical illness consuming their town. 'As Lindqvist has increasingly devoted himself to the subtle plumbing of the human soul he has become a distinctive and urgent voice in contemporary literature' - Svenska Dagbladet
