Description
In September 1985, nineteen-year-old John Lindqvist moved into a dilapidated old building in Stockholm, planning to make his living as a magician. Something strange was going on in the locked shower room in the building’s basement—and the price of entry was just a little blood.
I Always Find You is a horror story—as bizarre and macabre as any of Lindqvist’s earlier novels—but it’s also a melancholy meditation on being young and lonely, on making friends and growing up. It’s about magic, and the intensity of human connection—and the evil we carry inside.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
I Always Find You is praised for its blend of the supernatural with an autobiographical twist, creating an unsettling yet grounded narrative. It is characterised as imaginative and reminiscent of Stephen King's storytelling, offering an eerie and compelling atmosphere. The novel is described as a bizarre and inventive read, appealing to those interested in introspective and unconventional stories.
