"Establishes Lindqvist as Sweden's Stephen King."
--"The Washington Post "on "Harbor"
John Ajvide Lindqvist has been crowned the heir apparent to
Stephen King by numerous sources, and he is heralded around the
globe as one of the most spectacularly talented horror writers
working today. His first novel, "Let the Right One In, " is a cult
classic that has been made into iconic films in both Sweden and in
the United States. His second novel, "Handling the Undead, "is
beloved by horror fans everywhere. His third novel, "Harbor," is a
masterpiece that draws countless comparisons to Stephen King. Now,
with "Little Star," his most profoundly unsettling book yet,
Lindqvist treads previously unmarked territory.
A man finds a baby in the woods, left for dead. He brings the
baby home, and he and his wife raise the girl in their basement.
When a shocking and catastrophic incident occurs, the couple's son
Jerry whisks the girl away to Stockholm to start a new life. There,
he enters her in a nationwide singing competition. Another young
girl who's never fit in sees the performance on TV, and a spark is
struck that will ignite the most terrifying duo in modern
fiction.
"Little Star" is an unforgettable portrait of adolescence, a
modern-day "Carrie "for the age of internet bullies, offensive
reality television, and overnight You Tube sensations. Chilling,
unnerving, and petrifying, "Little Star "is the most disturbing
book to date by Scandinavian superstar John Ajvide Lindqvist.
