Getting Over You
Learn to love yourself and the truth
発行者による作品情報
Think of this book as a letter written to you and for you to communicate the truth of scripture and the wisdom of experience in a way that cuts through the hurt and long held beliefs that imprison. The lessons I’ve learned (so far) have come from experience overcoming my own jailer beliefs, discussion with my mentors, and counseling others as they find their way out.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Swedish author Lindqvist's debut, a horror novel, offers few twists that won't already be familiar to readers of modern vampire fiction. Oskar, a much bullied 12-year-old schoolboy living in a Stockholm suburb, notices that his next-door neighbor, Eli, has some peculiar traits: Eli only comes out at night, smells like death warmed over and is of ambiguous gender. Eventually, Eli reveals he's a vampire who survives by feeding off the neighborhood lowlifes. Occasionally, his bite accidentally turns victims into undeads who, unaware of their vampirization, go on rampages that end in spectacularly gruesome fates. As sweet as the pure and wholesome friendship between Oskar and Eli may be, it's the gory set pieces that propel the predictable plot.
