He made his debut in 2004 with the vampire novel L\u00e5t den r\u00e4tte komma in (Let the Right One In). The novel, set in a Stockholm suburb, tells the story of lonely and heavily bullied Oskar and his friendship with the new and very odd girl Eli \u2013 who later turns out to be a vampire. The book has been translated into about thirty languages and turned into a film. Last spring, the theatre play with the same name had its premiere at the National Theatre of Iceland. John Ajvide Lindqvist has written several novels \u2013 mainly within the horror genre \u2013 as well as screenplays for films and TV series. His latest novel, from 2015, is called R\u00f6relsen, den andra platsen and was nominated for the August Prize in the category Fiction in 2015. In this novel, Lindqvist examines the boundaries between that which is true or false, real or supernatural.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/johnajvide.com\/bocker\/\">Homepage<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meet the Author- JOHN AJVIDE LINDQVIST At The Nordic House, November 1.\u00a0at 7:30pm. \u00a0Free entrance.
