Before you actually dive into this book expecting mad rabid zombies trying to get into your house, while the characters try to survive and scrounge whatever resources they can to make it out into a world turned upside down, you’re not going to find it here. Yes it was disappointing. Is it worth a tr...
I've been spending some time in Stockholm recently so I thought I'd read some Swedish horror and who better than John Lindqvist who brought us "Let The Right One In" which was turned into one of the most powerful vampire movies I've ever seen (go here if you're interested). "Handling The Undead" g...
I'm not a huge fan of zombie books, but I enjoyed this one. It explores how people would try to stay connected to people they loved who had died, how city services would be overwhelmed, and how the religious might respond.
I borrowed this from the library because I read and enjoyed Lindqvist’s debut novel, Let the Right One In, a while back and was interested in reading more of his work. Here is the summary from the Kobo store: In his new novel, John Ajvide Lindqvist does for zombies what his previous novel, Let th...
Preface to review - I'm not a zombie fan. I'm specist that way.This isn't the Walking Dead. Thank god. If you liked "The Monkey's Paw", you should give this book a try, for it harkens more to that anything else.In the city of Stockholm (beautiful city btw) and only in the city of Stockholm, some ...
Interesting take on the zombie genre, but I felt like the story never really went anywhere.

Placing this on the good-old-college-try shelf. Although I really liked Lindqvist's other novels, this one was just dreadfully dull. So much so that I gave up at halfway through. I don't feel comfortable rating it but I certainly will not be trying this one again.
I can't remember who of you might care, and I also can't be bothered to look it up, but this is the next book by the guy who wrote Let the Right One In, only this time with freaking zombies! I also can't believe I'm going to say this publicly, but there's a firstreads giveaway for this book, open un...
The author of the wonderfully bleak vampiric Let the Right One In explores zombies in Handling the Undead.In the Swedish summer, it's not just coincidence that citizens' heads are aching. The power surges...and then nothing. But life has changed for some of the dead: they have risen.The sudden death...
