The Swedish author of the vampire novel, Let The Right One In, is returning this fall with a zombie book.
Author Lindqvist John Ajvide saw his spooky rewrite of vampire mythology turned into a pitch-perfect film in 2004. According to io9, Handling The Undead, will be published by the St. Martin’s Press imprint Thomas Dunne Books in September.
Here’s more from the Penguin Books Australia edition: “With wry humour and compassion, Lindqvist illuminates what the return of the dead might really mean to those who loved them … Equal parts family drama, social satire, piercing tragedy and disquisition on mortality, Handling the Undead is possibly the most original and compelling book you will read this year.”
