Media Reviews
'Reminiscent of Stephen King at his best. Best read by sunlight' Independent on Sunday. * Independent on Sunday *
'It's not often I come across a writer as original, compelling or as inventive as Lindqvist … the haunting imagery stays lodged in the mind long after the book is finished' Mail On Sunday. * Mail On Sunday *
'Some books are just too good. Handling the Undead is superbly written, with beautifully drawn, fully realised characters, a lively, well-constructed narrative and a wonderfully paced and balanced plot. It's an intensely atmospheric book … it's a masterpiece, fantastically well-written and totally gripping' SFX magazine. * SFX *

Author's Bio
John Ajvide Lindqvist is a Swedish author, born in 1968. He grew up in Blackeberg, a suburb of Stockholm. He wanted to become something awful and fantastic. First he became a conjurer and came in second in the Nordic card trick championship. Then he was a stand-up comedian for twelve years, before writing Let the Right One In. That novel became a phenomenal international bestseller and was made into a film and a West End play, both called Let Me In. His books are published in twenty-nine countries worldwide.
