Let the Right One In

von John Ajvide Lindqvist

Oskar lives with his mum in a Stockholm highrise. He has a collection of newspaper clippings about gruesome murders, and not many friends-unless you count the kids who follow him and beat him up. So when Eli moves in next door, things seem to be improving. She's a little strange, and her 'father' is frankly sinister, but at least she likes Oskar.

Then a child's body is found hanging from a tree, and all hell breaks loose. Is it a serial killer? Or something a bit...different?

The US film Let Me In is an adaptation of Let the Right One In. Translated by Ebba Segerberg.
