I am Behind You

'A smart, sprawling romp that's all about love and courage and loyalty...I haven't read such a bold, free-wheeling novel in years. I loved every word of it.' * Sonya Hartnett on Let the Right One In *
'An unsettling and durable horror tale from the mind of a dangerously imaginative man.' * Herald Sun on Let the Right One In *
'Lindqvist, like Stephen King, with whom he has often been compared, offers finely crafted and psychologically sharp parables of a cracked society.' * The Australian on Little Star *
'Can a horror thriller be truly enjoyable? Certainly in the hands of Swedish author Lindqvist...Intelligent writing, poetic imagery, a deft turn of phrase.' * Adelaide Advertiser on Harbour *
`Brilliant and unexpected.' * Weekend Australian *
`A delicate balance between macabre and moving.' * Sunday Telegraph *
`Lindqvist is Sweden's answer to Stephen King.' * Daily Mirror *
`Fabulously creepy.' * Sunday Age *
`As imaginative and brilliant as any of [Stephen] King's famous stories...Eerie and compelling.' * Canberra Weekly *
`A genuine skin-crawler of a book.' * Otago Daily Times *
`Every character - even the animals - is finely drawn in a surreal tale that is simply extraordinary.' * Courier-Mail *
`[Lindqvist's] talent for psychological horror takes a new twist in his latest novel...A slow-burner with a few intense thrills up its sleeve.' * Sydney Morning Herald *
`Things end badly, with throat-cutting, melting flesh and a gruesome motoring accident, all timed impeccably and reported with unblinking clarity.' * NZ Listener *
`[Lindquist] is willing to take it to the edge and then some. But weirdly, disturbingly it all hangs together, perhaps a metaphor, perhaps a meditation on some of the less attractive aspects of what it means to be human, perhaps just creepy entertainment.' * Stuff NZ *
