From a fan of both the novel and film, I would like to say two things

First of all thanks for the seasons greetings John, you are one cool guy.

And secondly thank you very much for Let the Right One In. It is very rare for a book or film to move me to tears and this one did it for a lot of personal reasons. Let's just say the whipping scene hits very close to home for myself, and I felt every bit of Oskar's pain in that scene. So thank you for writing this fantastic novel, I really loved it as not only a Vampire story but for being a piece of lit that could move me immensly.

Thank you John and while at it thanks for Handling the Undead it too was a great read; and I can't wait to read the English translation of Human Guise later in the year.

Thanks John.

1. Put beans in the fridge

2. Wait for them to get cold

3. Bring them out after optimal time

4. Let them warm up just a tiny bit

5. Nom nom nom nom

6. Profit

On April 18, 2010, these posts were made in the Media section of "We, The Infected," under the title of "Lilla Stjärna is here!" (created by drakkar).

Thanks for the update, drakkar.

And thanks to Tom for the link to the website.

Well, if anyone has any doubts about whether or not it was JAL who made a couple of visits to this forum, all doubts can be put to rest: I immediately went to the website and compared the prolouge posted here back in Dec. with the official prolouge; there are a few minor differences (last-minute editing, I'm sure), but otherwise it is word-for-word.

So...JAL really was here. And he really is a class act. Very refreshing and uplifting to know. :)

It´s just a very short story, but for me an important one. To be honest, some discussions on these boards have made me consider not publishing the story at all! This said with appreciation, since it has made me think about if it´s wise to give the definite answer to some questions, like I do in the story. Well, we´ll see.
you better do it! :evil:

please.. :cry:
