I thought that originally but the "come home" to me seems to punch a hole through that theory. maybe there is a different meaning to it in the Swedish version.
No, the translation is exact. However, I still read the passage allegorically rather than literally. It wasn’t the actual vampire lord Eli feared, but something he represented, in my opinion.
But from the beginning Eli was just Eli. Nothing. Anything. And he is still a mystery to me. John Ajvide Lindqvist
