Synopsis
*** PLEASE NOTE: AUTHOR NOT VISITING UK TO SIGN, ALL PRE-ORDERS WERE CANCELLED.***
Whatever happened to Oskar and Eli? And what became of the beleaguered families in Handling the Undead? Find out in Let the Old Dreams Die. In other tales from this collection, a woman finds a dead body and decides to keep it for herself, a customs officer has a mysterious gift which enables him to see what others hide, and a man believes he knows how to deceive death. These are the stories of John Ajvide Lindqvist's rich imagination. They are about love and death and what we do when the two collide and the monsters emerge.
John Ajvide Lindqvist is a Swedish author, born in 1968, who grew up in Blackeberg, a suburb of Stockholm. He came in second in the Nordic card trick championship, before working as a stand-up comedian for twelve years. His four novels, Let the Right One In, Handling the Undead, Harbour and Little Star have been translated into English and published by Quercus. Marlaine Delargy works as a translator and adult learning support tutor. She has translated novels by Åsa Larsson and Johan Theorin, and serves on the editorial board of the Swedish Book Review. She lives in Shropshire, England.
