Swedish author Lindqvist’s debut, a horror novel, offers few twists that won’t already be familiar to readers of modern vampire fiction. Oskar, a much bullied 12-year-old schoolboy living in a Stockholm suburb, notices that his next-door neighbor, Eli, has some peculiar traits: Eli only comes out at night, smells like death warmed over and is of ambiguous gender. Eventually, Eli reveals he’s a vampire who survives by feeding off the neighborhood lowlifes. Occasionally, his bite accidentally turns victims into undeads who, unaware of their vampirization, go on rampages that end in spectacularly gruesome fates. As sweet as the pure and wholesome friendship between Oskar and Eli may be, it’s the gory set pieces that propel the predictable plot.
Sweden enters the horror genre. This debut novel is a terrific story, ably performed by Steven Pacey. The novel focuses on 12-year-old Oskar and his friendship with his unusual neighbor, Eli, who turns out to be a vampire. Further, some of Eli's victims, who do not even realize they've been transformed into vampires, go on their own rampages, which turn out to be quite gory. Pacey's gravelly voice and protracted enunciation help extend the drama and keep the listener captivated. He's especially adept at framing the relationship between Oskar and Eli, making the book enjoyable from start to finish. D.J.S. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
