about
John Ajvide Lindqvist (born 1968 in Blackeberg, Sweden) is a Swedish genre bending horror writer. Lindqvist grew up in the Stockholm suburb of Blackeberg, and his debut novel Låt den rätte komma in, a vampire horror published in 2004, enjoyed great success in Sweden. Hanteringen av odöda was published in 2005 and involved the rising of zombies, or undead, in the Stockholm area, and in 2006 he released his third book Pappersväggar, a collection of horror short stories. His works are published by Ordfront and have been translated to many languages, including English, German, Italian, Norwegian, Danish, Polish, Dutch and Russian. Before becoming a published writer, Lindqvist worked for twelve years as a magician and stand-up comedian. Besides fiction he has also written the manuscript for Sveriges Television drama series Kommissionen, a large part of the material to the television series Reuter och Skoog, as well as the manuscript for the upcoming filming of his novel Låt den rätte komma in. The novel Hanteringen av odöda is also due to be filmed at some point in the future - the production company Tre Vänner has bought the rights and are planning to make a television series and motion picture.
