That being said, I don't quite agree with you. I think LTROI is all about Oskar, despite the other perspectives. Fantastic book. http://thejamminjabber.com/2009/08/19/let-the-right-one-in-review/ Hm… if you don’t like the multi-character angle, I’d stay away from Lindqvist’s followup, Handling The Undead, which I didn’t like nearly as much as LTROI.

This was in response to their piece today on beautiful Penguin paperback covers. I'm glad I found your site - I'm looking forward to looking around at all the fun stuff here.

Some call it vIaGrA, others V1agra. They always find a way past the bots. I delete them all. People walk past my desk; some ‘good morning’s I reply to, most I don’t. I don’t know if they’re talking to me or whether I’m actually really here or not. Nothing feels real, or alive; it’s like a ancient lullaby; like some dark haired auntie sat by your cot singing softly to your tiny suffocated corpse, blood clots between her teeth. I say good morning. They say good morning. Is it? Isn’t it? We could simply make sounds at each other. A tonal greeting. Goo mawnnn. There are 76 emails in my inbox about Viagra.
