Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist

4.0

A freakish and chilling read. Despite the length, I finished it pretty quickly (but that could also be because I'm quarantined at home with nothing else to do, lol). Normally, books don't spook me out as much as films, but Linqvist is an expert in evoking revulsion and terror entirely within your own mind. He manages to create something new and genuinely creepy within a tired genre. The novel floats between different perspectives, some more interesting than others, but I appreciate how we get a little bit of each person's interiority throughout. Would not recommend for those easily disturbed, but everyone else I would encourage to dive right in.

Next on my quarantine checklist is checking out the movie adaptation!
