Genre - Horror
This tale is much more than just a vampire story. It has crime, social commentary, school life, parental issues, alcoholism and cats. It’s so refreshing to read an urban fantasy novel that doesn’t have the cliché kick-arse heroine. Instead, we have schoolboy Oskar, bullied relentlessly at school, who has a macabre fascination with murder. Eli, who’s just moved next door, is like no one else Oskar’s encountered before and there’s a good reason for that.
Oskar and Eli are two of the most fascinating characters I’ve come across in a long time. The cat scenes are disturbing - the moral of the story being not to own eighteen cats. The cruelty and violence of the kids is horrifying; forget the innocence you believe children have. An engrossing read that leaves me waiting for the author’s second novel to be translated into English.
