So far - great book. First read by him for me, but I'm liking his style here - modern horror, doesn't draw-out things, easy to follow, vulgar, and raw. It's definitely an adult read with...dark and dirty situations (I'll keep it at that). Check out the movie with the same title - "Let the Right One In" - ESPECIALLY the Swedish version. American version is ok, but do yourself a favor and look for the other.Quote:

And here You are with the same take on the Movies.Deleted that part since I figured the post would be too long, and have far little ref to Smoking. NowI didn't watch the American movie, but did not need to since I knew it would be lousy, have been by a couple of people that they could not even watch the that it (on You tube ) to the end.Quote:

@allusred
Yes, a natural is available and for around $3. I'll toss a review up for it somewhat soon but the overall - had a twang in the first 1/3 that's kinda metallic, kinda light for a maduro, solid throughout, little pepper and spice in the retrohale, 2/3-3/3 the twang melds better. I'd get another for sure and would like to try the natural.
What's my next read by Lindqvist - preferably horror?

Matthew, I think first up...Little Star, esp since the Covid isolation/lockdown and the risk of such for young kids/childrenQuote:
