Let the Right One in

Front Cover
Penguin Group, Sep 30, 2010 - Fiction - 519 pages

He is a twelve-year-old outside; bullied at school, dreaming about his absentee father, bored with life on a dreary housing estate. One evening he meets a mysterious girl. As friendship blossoms between them, he discovers her dark secret - she is a 200-year-old vampire, forever frozen in childhood and condemned to live on a diet of fresh blood. Let the Right One In is the inspiration behind the major film, Let Me In. It is a disturbing and brilliant reworking of the vampire legend, and a deeply moving fable about rejection, friendship and loyalty.
