“The Things We Do for Love” ITF Read: Let the Right One In (2004 novel)

Author John Ajvide Lindqvist takes vampire mythology and reinvents it by setting his tale in 1980s Stockholm, aging down the characters to inappropriate levels, and leaning heavily on a Stephen King influence. In episode 239, Luke & James discuss one of the darkest novels they’ve ever covered on the podcast, the role of extreme topics in horror, empathy for the devil, and just what kinds of horrors love can make a person justify.

Join them next week when they discuss Tomas Alfredson’s 2008 adaptation of the same name!
