Here's another book review for you 'Let the right one in' by John Ajvide Lindqvist.  And it's a film tie-in too with the movie of the book out now.

Set in a Swedish sink estate, this vampire novel is both chilling and gruesome but is also a true page-turner, guaranteed to keep you on the edge of your seat.  The violence is frequent, terrifying and graphic (certainly not a read for the faint-hearted), but the tender, burgeoning relationship between Eli and Oskar makes all the horror worthwhile.  The large cast of supporting characters, some of whom will make your skin crawl, will make you look at any new neighbours in a different light as this novel makes its way to a very explosive climax.  One to read with the lights on!

You can borrow it from the library now, (or rather you can do once I've returned it) or you could just see the film instead. If you're feeling really brave you could do both and then see which version is the scariest!

Until next time - don't have nightmares!
