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.
A compelling treatise on loneliness, alienation and the evil that
lurks in every human heart
*Guardian*
Genuinely scary . . . Vividly brought to life . . . Stockholm's
answer to Stephen King? Well, Lindqvist certainly has the
talent
*Daily Mail*
A horror that works its spell slowly, and you'll be gripped by the
end
*SciFiNow*
Affectingly eerie scenario, and one which grows more and more
menacingly surreal . . . haunting, memorably gruesome
*SFX*
Arguably the most talented horror writer of his generation, and
certainly one of the most literate . . . An intense powerhouse of a
book that is equal, if not better than, the undead opus that made
him a worldwide success . . . Raw, unsettling, and worms its way
beneath the skin with nightmarish ease.
*Starburst*
I Am Behind You is a book guaranteed to deliver lovers of dark
fiction the foreboding, dread-soaked delights they've been
hungering for. At the very least, it brings a new and utterly alien
villain into the tradition of cosmic horror, and that alone is
worth scaring yourself over
