Description
A new collection of short stories from the Swedish master of the macabre, featuring a sequel to LET THE RIGHT ONE IN.Customs officer Tina can smell a smuggler's guilt. Josef has a close encounter with Death - and discovers you can negotiate. Joel's apartment building is starting to...list.
Wickedly imaginative, gleefully bloodthirsty, LET THE OLD DREAMS DIE features a classic Lindqvist cast of lovers, loners and losers. All flawed, all touched by the desire to be loved, all deeply human. Even some of those who are not human at all.
'Although Lindqvist reminds us of the way fear and hatred of the unfamiliar makes monsters of all of us, it is not fear and hatred he is interested in, but love and the way it binds us to one another.' James Bradley, The Australian
'Lindqvist again trips along that thin high wire between supernatural devices and psychological verities.' Independent
'A delicate balance between macabre and moving.' Sunday Telegraph ISBN:9780857385499
