Known for their high-end releases of classic horror novels including Misery, Rosemary’s Baby and Red Dragon, Suntup Editions has now given their deluxe edition treatment to Swedish author John Ajvide Lindqivst‘s novel Let the Right One In, the basis for both the same-titled 2008 vampire film and the American remake that was simply titled Let Me In.
The signed limited edition of Let the Right One In features a new exclusive introduction by the author, and six full color illustrations by Bud Cook. This is the first signed limited edition of the novel. The edition will also include Let The Old Dreams Die, the short story sequel to Let The Right One In, and What Kept You So Long, the spin-off story and third installment in the saga, collected together for the first time in a single volume.
Lauded by critics as “brilliant and repulsive,” Let the Right One In is one of the most acclaimed and adapted vampire novels of the 21st century. In the autumn of 1981, the body of a teenage boy is found drained of blood in Blackeberg, the Swedish suburb where twelve-year-old Oskar lives. Bullied frequently by his peers, Oskar is a social outcast who becomes fixated on Eli, the new girl who has moved in next door. To Oskar, there is something strange and wondrous about Eli, the girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube but can solve it within hours. The girl who only comes out at night. The girl who smells of death.
With its themes of existential anxiety, social pressure, and the complications of youth, Let the Right One In is a gory vampire tale, a stirring love story, and a profound meditation on childhood love and loneliness. First published in 2008, Let the Right One In is an international bestseller. It has been adapted into two films, both multi-award winning, as well as two stage adaptations.
The signed limited edition is presented in three states: Lettered, Numbered and Artist Gift editions. The editions measure 6” x 9” and feature six full color illustrations by Bud Cook as well as a new exclusive introduction by the author. The Lettered and Numbered editions are signed by John Ajvide Lindqvist and Bud Cook, and the Artist Gift Edition is signed by Bud Cook.
