"Like Stephen King, Lindqvist makes deft use of contemporary pop culture.... Like King, Lindqvist is a master at evoking the claustrophobic atmosphere of a small, self-contained community whose denizens are as cursed by their own history as by the uncanny, terrifying events of the present."
--The Washington Post
"John Ajvide Lindqvist is rightly seen as one of the most exciting writers working in the horror genre at the moment – a rival, indeed, to Stephen King."
--The Scotsman
"A spooky pleasure, expertly told."
--Kirkus Reviews
"Enthralling dark fantasy."
--Publishers Weekly
