Let the right one in



Occasionally a text comes along that truly captures what the Gothic is about. What makes the Gothic Gothic, is it's ability to make the reader feel uneasy ... to place the reader in a ambivalent position ... morally and psychologically.

Lindqvist's novel, Let the right one in, does just that. What an excellent story. There's a film version as well. I thoroughly recommend both.
